About Capacity Canada

Founded in 2009, Capacity Canada is a registered charity that helps non-profits leverage their strengths by allowing them to exercise new ideas to fill unmet needs in their communities. It provides the resources and professional supports that enhance leadership skills, stimulate cross-sector collaboration, promote knowledge sharing, and encourage social innovation.

Over the past ten years we have worked with over one-thousand non-profit organizations across the country building their capacity in the areas of Board Governance, Strategic Planning, Board Matching, Design Thinking, and much more.
