Our Story

LIFT Impact Partners is a national non-profit organization. Together with our partners, we accelerate change to create a Canada where all people and communities thrive.

Any measure of quality of life requires meaningful employment. As a country, we must come together to address systemic barriers preventing Canadians from gaining meaningful employment, such as lack of health and financial security, education, skills development, racial and societal bias and discrimination.

Since 2011, we have been instrumental in the growth and evolution of social purpose organizations (SPOs) across Canada, with evidence-based solutions and impact measurement as our foundation. Our proven model helps Canadian SPOs become more impactful in improving social outcomes in the areas of health, education and skills development. Over time, we’ve progressed and scaled our model to turn good causes into great SPOs, create meaningful social impact and leverage strategic partnerships across all sectors.

First known as LIFT Philanthropy Partners, we emerged from 2010 Legacies Now, an organization created to leverage the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games to create social and economic benefits in communities throughout British Columbia. In 2021, we sharpened our focus and changed our name to LIFT Impact Partners to better reflect who we are, what we do and what Canada needs right now.

We’re accelerating social change on a national scale by growing the impact of social purpose organizations – but we can’t do it alone.
