About Us
Foundations for Social Change is a charitable organization located in Vancouver, B.C. that develops evidence-based solutions to advance social change. We pair a bold entrepreneurial mindset with scientific rigour, using data and evidence to evaluate our work and measure impact. Envisioning a kind and inclusive world where everyone thrives, we successfully piloted the world’s first program to use cash transfers to reduce homelessness.
Featured initiative: New Leaf pilot Project
The New Leaf Pilot Project is the first of its kind in North America to provide direct cash transfers to individuals experiencing homelessness. Our goal was simple: to give people the financial tools to regain stability and independence. Learn more about how this initiative has changed lives and how we’re expanding it.
We seek solutions to ongoing social issues, like homelessness, with an entrepreneurial mindset. Our flagship undertaking is the New Leaf project.
Direct giving empowers individuals to find housing and purchase goods that improve their lives, while restoring dignity, confidence, and well-being.
We believe in economic inclusion and that no one should be left behind. We strive to create realistic and lasting impact.
