We are LIFT Impact Partners
We believe in a stronger and more inclusive Canada. For over 10 years, LIFT has grown and evolved to scale the impact of social purpose organizations (SPOs) across the country. Through strategic coaching, capacity-building, and partner network supports, we empower SPOs to maximize their impact on communities across Canada.

Our Approach
LIFT is showing how community-led and evidence-based solutions – proven to expand the capacity, reach and overall success of our SPOs – can be carried out in an integrated model across Canada.
We’ve sharpened our focus to work with SPOs with the potential and ability to generate the largest social outcomes leading to meaningful employment. We mobilize private and public sector resources to help SPOs scale, operationalize and deliver greater impact. Our proven model turns SPOs into great social investments.
Featured Initiatives
Inclusion with Impact 2023 Report
In 2019, with the support of Employment and Social Development Canada, we launched Inclusion with Impact (IWI), which aimed to help eight social purpose organizations (SPOs) increase their capacity and impact in delivering meaningful change to people with disabilities across Canada. The results-driven approach provided a platform for strategic discussions between SPOs, as well as opportunities for service collaboration and partnerships, while building connections that extend beyond the life of the project.
Inclusion With Impact
Inclusion With Impact (IWI) is aimed at supporting organizations that are removing barriers for persons living with disabilities, scaling innovative programs and services and demonstrating measurable results, specifically towards employment or self-employment outcomes.
Through IWI, eight SPOs from across Canada will participate in a cohort learning model to facilitate resource and information sharing, create opportunities for potential collaboration and be in a position to implement best practices across the disability sector.
10 Years of Transformational Impact
In 2021, we are celebrating the tenth year of LIFT Philanthropy Partners – 10 years of helping create real change on a national scale by growing the impact of social purpose organizations (SPOs). Over the last decade, LIFT has supported more than 65 SPOs on their journey to becoming more sustainable and effective in improving social outcomes.
Today, LIFT is showing how community-led and evidence-based solutions - proven to expand the capacity, reach, and overall success of our SPOs - can be carried out in an integrated model across Canada.
Better Beginnings, Bigger Impact
The Better Beginnings, Bigger Impact (BBBI) project launched in January 2017 to help 10 organizations expand their capacity and reach to deliver real change in the lives of Canadian newcomers.
The challenges faced by newcomers are multi-faceted. From the assessment of foreign credentials to understanding the language, culture, and workplace communication styles, newcomers have much to absorb to create a sense of belonging and become financially self-sufficient in Canada. LIFT sought organizations committed to helping individuals integrate into Canadian life and overcome barriers specific to the newcomer experience, contributing to a cohesive and diverse society.
