LEAP Pecaut Centre for Social Impact

LEAP Pecaut Centre for Social Impact mobilizes the charitable sector across Toronto and the GTA to address complex social problems through research, collaboration, and strategic initiatives. The organization brings together nonprofits, funders, government, and community members to develop evidence-based approaches to challenges like poverty, homelessness, and inequality. LEAP works by convening stakeholders, funding research projects, and providing tools and knowledge that help charities work more effectively. Their programs include funding community-led solutions, conducting policy research, and building the capacity of social organizations to measure their impact and share what they learn. The centre operates with the belief that lasting change requires the entire charitable ecosystem to work together strategically rather than in isolation.
