Social Capital Partners is a national non-profit organization founded in 2001 by Canadian business leader and philanthropist, Bill Young. We are made up of a small but dynamic team of non-profit and private sector professionals who are eager and tenacious about influencing systems change and innovative social finance solutions in Canada.
Susan Pigott is the Vice President, Communications and Community Engagement at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). Trained as a nurse and a social worker, Susan has worked in the non-profit human services field in Toronto for over 25 years. For nine years, Susan was the Chief Executive Officer of St. Christopher House, a community-based multi-service agency that operates in the west end of Toronto. Prior to that she spent seven years at United Way of Greater Toronto, first as Allocations Director and then as Vice President of Fundraising.
Beyond the social benefits, Doug believes working with SCP offers business opportunities as well. Throughout his career, he has found access to capital to be a limiting factor. He received a loan from SCP to start a franchise location and says, "by Social Capital Partners taking away that constraint, then it takes a very big issue off the table." This ease of mind allows owners to move forward with their business plans without being concerned over financing. Another benefit of working with SCP is the wage subsidy received by the government for hiring employees through the agencies.
Since 2001, Social Capital Partners has worked with many service providers to place candidates with employers in our programs. Through this experience, we have identified a series of best practices that contribute to successful and sustainable job placements, as well as a short list of qualities that we look for in the community agencies we work with.
