When the founders of Pencils for Kids discovered in December 2005 that 30 children were sharing ONE pencil in a community in Niger, Africa they decided to act. Since that time, P4K has partnered with Liboré, a community of 25,000 people in Niger, where only two schools go beyond Grade 6. Since 2006, P4K has sent over 20,000 kilograms of school supplies, created pen-pal relationships, built three schools, a library, opened a sewing centre for girls and started sponsoring scholarships for girls. We have also piloted the first Farmers of the Future program in three village schools, teaching children in primary school to move from subsistence farming to a business model where they can learn how to market their produce and invest their earnings. We do this one pencil, one book and one community at a time.

Skills for Change is a charitable organization dedicated to employment success for immigrants and refugees. A focus on professional communications, workplace culture, skills upgrading and bridging, mentoring and language classes directly responds to the needs of hiring managers from Canada’s leading employers. With a successful background in social innovation, Cheryl May, Executive Director, saw an emerging trend in government interest for increased innovation and collaboration from nonprofits to be responsive to market shifts and less dependent on public funding. Skills for Change launched an innovation program in January 2012 to test and push out new sustainable solutions in support and services. With an emphasis on strategic analysis, the approach weighs demographic and employer needs, adapting to the changing demands of the immigration landscape.

At Hungry for Music, our mission is putting quality musical instruments into hungry hands. We serve children who demonstrate a desire to learn music, as well as teachers who have students willing to learn. In 23 years, we've delivered 10,000 instruments to children in 48 states and 20 countries. We believe that by sharing instruments and musical experiences, children who would not otherwise have the opportunity can experience a kind of freedom and self-discovery that is often stifled in an atmosphere of economic hardship.
