Carl Cadogan, Director, Fund Development
Carl Cadogan brings almost thirty years of experience in the Not-for-Profit sector, working with youth in counselling, training, and employment in ‘underserved communities’ in Ottawa, Edmonton, and Toronto. He has lent his expertise to being part of important community and government initiatives, such as the Premiers’ Council on the Voluntary Sector, the Provincial Work Group on Gaming, and the creation and development of Pillar Non-Profit Network and Eva’s Place Youth Shelter.
In his professional life, Carl has been the Executive Director and CEO of small and medium-sized organizations and has worked with Indigenous communities in Ontario and BC. Carl believes in the axiom, ‘if you want something done, ask a busy person.’ He is the volunteer Treasurer of the Aya Afrika Foundation, which provides support to children and youth in Ghana, and is the Chair and Treasurer of the London Black History Coordinating Committee.
In his spare time, Carl loves to travel and has been to every province and one territory and to thirty US states. He is an avid biker and kite flier. Carl has been a mentor and has assisted others to transition to find their career fit. He is excited at being part of the Iron + Earth team, and shares in its principles and core values.

Iron & Earth was founded within Treaty 6 Territory and within the Métis homelands and Métis Nation of Alberta Region 4. We acknowledge this land as the traditional territories of many First Nations, including the Nehiyaw (Cree), Denesuliné (Dene), Nakota Sioux (Stoney), Anishinaabe (Saulteaux), and Niitsitapi (Blackfoot).
Iron & Earth acknowledges that our work takes place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of Indigenous Peoples across Canada. We recognize the ongoing impacts of colonialism and the deep connection that Indigenous communities have with the land, water, and environment. Our commitment to a Just Transition is informed by Indigenous land stewardship principles. We are dedicated to fostering partnerships with Indigenous communities, respecting their sovereignty, and learning from their knowledge and traditions. We strive to ensure that our initiatives are inclusive and support community-driven climate solutions, contributing to a sustainable and equitable future for all. We honor the diverse histories, languages, and cultures of Indigenous Peoples and commit to continuing our journey of learning and reconciliation as we work together toward a thriving green economy.
