LEADING A CHANGEMAKING MOVEMENT

Creating The Future We Want

A world where solutions outrun problems and everyone is a changemaker

We dream big. We want to create a radically better future not just for Canada but for every human being. We have the vision, skills and — most of all — the network of engaged, passionate changemakers to realize our dreams and yours.

Disrupting Systems

Social problems don’t exist in silos — neither do their solutions

After more than three decades of building the social entrepreneurship field, we know that sustainable change requires rewiring broken systems. Our network of innovators are working tirelessly to achieve long lasting social change.
