L2M – Social Impact Measurement Toolkit For Community Service Organizations

Canada is facing a prolonged period of low productivity, which is worsened by its aging demographic. Low productivity growth leads to reduced economic growth and a lower quality of life for Canadians, emphasizing the need for innovation. Two key factors are Canada’s low Business R&D levels and its leadership in university R&D. To address this, L2M focuses on developing innovation and entrepreneurial skills in Highly Qualified Personnel (HQP), aiming to expand the pool of industry innovators and researchers capable of commercializing discoveries. Specifically, there’s a growing demand for accountability in social services and non-profit organizations in Canada, prompting the creation of a social impact measurement toolkit to help them demonstrate their impact and attract funders.
