Communities in Canada and around the world continue to struggle with problems like how to provide affordable housing, good education and jobs, quality healthcare, and clean technology. These issues are difficult to solve because their causes are complex. It’s inconceivable that any one government, charity or service organization can tackle them alone.
That’s why the MaRS Centre for Impact Investing was founded in 2011. We create new funding models that channel more money and bring more stakeholders together to work on society’s toughest problems. We broker new partnerships and find solutions to tough social challenges.
We have expertise in investing, business development, government policy and international development. We put this knowledge to work for our clients, helping them find ways to fund their ideas or invest in all our futures.
Above all, we connect people. We connect the public, the private, the non-profit and the charitable sectors and draw them together to push social progress.
