Our Partners

A partnership of like-minded people who believe in creating prosperity for all Canadians

LIFT’s donors and supporters join a network of socially responsible individuals and organizations that contribute to our efforts to advance social change in Canada. We are a partnership of like-minded people who believe in not simply donating to charity, but in creating prosperity for all Canadians.

We invest in social change by selectively allocating our resources and expertise to social purpose organizations (SPOs) with unrealized growth potential that can affect meaningful, measurable and scalable outcomes.

LIFT is looking for partners who passionately believe that vulnerable and at-risk Canadians deserve access to the tools they need to prosper in society. These partners also believe in enabling SPOs to expand their service offering. We look forward to welcoming a broad range of supporters as we work with SPOs to improve the health and productivity of Canadians and their communities.

LIFT has an extensive national partner network that provides pro bono services to the organizations in our social purpose portfolio.

Our partner network contains leading businesses, service providers and other experts from across Canada. These partners provide pro bono expertise essential to the success of each social purpose organization’s LIFT plan, such as financial planning, research and evaluation, governance, accounting, legal, communications and marketing, human resource planning, information technology, fundraising and more.
