Canopy is a revolutionary shidduch website, designed to emphasize Torah values and address the needs and sensitivities of frum daters - as well as shadchanim - all while staying comfortably within the parameters of the traditional shidduch system.
We aim to improve four key features of the shidduch system, by offering privacy, autonomy, efficiency, and measures to maintain a 1:1 ratio of men to women daters. Best of all, it's 100% free. We believe that the donation-based model used by nearly every chessed organization should apply to shidduchim too. Wondering how the magic happens? Watch our video below.

Canopy offers four key improvements to the traditional shidduch system.
privacy
Canopy offers greater privacy protection than the current shidduch system. Profiles are first shared in an anonymized format; the full shidduch resume is shared only when both parties express mutual interest. Canopy is not an open database - shadchanim and daters cannot search the system.
autonomy
We offer daters the first look at profiles and the final say on deciding what is right for them. Daters can have an active role in searching for their shidduch, by reviewing the anonymized profiles they receive and deciding whether to pursue the suggestions.
efficiency
Because daters are generally the ones most invested in the process, they are often best positioned to play the main role. Canopy lets daters access and review suggestions directly, saving time and energy. Although there's still time for research, we've eliminated much of the initial back-and-forth with a shadchan to confirm whether an idea makes sense.
balance
Canopy maintains a 1:1 ratio of men to women by requiring sign-up in pairs and implementing measures to preserve this balance.
We believe this equilibrium is essential for providing an effective service. For example, if nine women sign up for every one man, our usefulness diminishes. Actively recruiting men and sharing information, both in the online and offline shidduch worlds, ensures balance. By fostering equal participation, we statistically increase the likelihood of making shidduchim.
