Our Impact

Impact Framework

LEAP’s theory of change focuses on collective social impact as a powerful means to address the significant issues and scope of needs faced by social ventures. This collective social impact approach invests in building human capital and networks to bridge the four levels: the social ventures, their beneficiaries, the cohort, and the sector at large.

Beneficiary

LEAP strengthens the ability of organizations to design solutions at the community level so they can reach more people than ever before. We strive to ensure beneficiaries receive a better quality of service and programming to make transformational change in their lives.

SocialVenture

LEAP focuses on organizational change and strengthens internal capabilities by providing in-depth strategic and operational support, leadership coaching, governance, and funding to accelerate and scale each organization. We strategically leverage the expertise and assets of our network of private sector partners to amplify our support.

Cohort

A cohort model facilitates peer-to-peer learning among the selected social ventures, creating opportunities for collaboration and partnerships that push the thinking forward in the sector.

Sector

By building a web of support across the private and public sectors, LEAP leverages the unique resources and expertise that can be garnered to address the issues immediately, while also creating new systems of working together to effect lasting change.

 SDGs

LEAP recognizes the complexities of variables that are involved in addressing Canada's most pressing social challenge. Aligned with our values, United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) inform the areas of progress LEAP and our social ventures are making towards a better future.


Here, we have identified SDGs that align with our mission/vision and speak to the inspiring work performed by our social ventures.
