LIFT focuses on results-based investments that create measurable social impact to improve the health and productivity of Canadians and their communities. We leverage financial investments from individuals, corporations, foundations and governments with the value-added expertise of our partner network and LIFT team to lift organizations to a new level of achievement.

LIFT multiplies the effectiveness of dollars invested and ensures the social return on investments continue to increase over time. This form of smart investing resonates with our investors as we improve the long-term sustainability and effectiveness of social purpose organizations.

Measurement and Accountability

• We provide transparent reporting on benchmarks, progress and performance of our not-for-profit investments
• We help social purpose organizations improve their measurement and evaluation processes to increase accountability

Partner Network

• We leverage financial investments with the value-added expertise of our partner network and LIFT team to multiply the impact of each dollar invested
• Our partner network provides essential skills and resources to the social purpose organizations at pro bono and reduced rates

Corporate Social Responsibility

When evaluating success, we look beyond the measurement of generated profits and dividends paid to the meaningful impact that is created in communities across Canada. We want to transform the lives of individuals through increased access to opportunities that benefit them and their livelihood, in turn contributing to the creation of a more engaged, productive and healthy society.
