Association for New Canadians

Location: St. John's, NL

The Association for New Canadians (ANC) is a non-profit, community-based organization dedicated to the provision of settlement, inclusion, and integration services for newcomers to Newfoundland and Labrador.

The Opportunity

Strengthen ANC’s organizational capacity and infrastructure to deliver meaningful settlement outcomes for its clients while building its public profile and community impact.

The Impact

Stronger Foundations Boost Impact and Investment Readiness: As ANC continues to strengthen its capacity for scale, new investment is already occurring. ANC successfully attracted first-time funding from Future Skills to expand its social enterprise cluster, as well as support the launch of a new program to build career pathways for immigrant professionals. The organization has also secured renewed funding for its social enterprise, Global Eats, and attracted interest from the Royal Bank of Canada to further invest in the skills-building of its team.

LIFT was the ultimate disruptor. Their team helped us to critically analyze our systems and process and supported us in exploring new directions aligned with our strategic priorities. With LIFT support, our foundation is solid. It has changed how we do business.
