Prospect Human Services

Location: Calgary, AB

Prospect Human Services reduces barriers and delivers sustainable solutions so that everyone, regardless of circumstance, can reach their employment potential.

The Opportunity

  • Increase Prospect’s ability to grow, not just in size, but also in capacity and impact, striving to help more Albertans become prosperous and healthy, creating more diverse and inclusive workplaces, and strengthening our economy.
  • Enhance revenue diversification, raise the organization’s profile, and increase its overall ability to mobilize and influence the community at large.

The Impact

Over the past three years, Prospect has experienced tremendous growth. The organization is now stronger, with impact that reflects its ambitious goals and data-driven culture. Building the foundations of a data informed practice has anchored and helped drive the organization’s success. Across the board, Prospect has cultivated a culture of “rigorous self-reflection.”

By aligning and unifying its team, the organization has elevated its profile and dramatically increased its results, including a 50% increase in revenue and a significant increase in employment outcomes:


We are twice the size since we started with LIFT. The biggest outcome has been the creation of a foundation that’s going to allow us to springboard into having dramatically larger impact on the people we serve and help us participate in the building of our community going forward.
