WE CO-CREATE SOCIAL CHANGE PROGRAMS
FARMS OF THE FUTURE
Working in partnership with McCain Foods and their farmers, Impakt led an international collaboration with sustainability experts—including academics, tech innovators, agricultural specialists, and McCain leadership—to redefine the future of farming. Aligned with McCain’s commitment to implementing regenerative agriculture practices across 100% of their potato acreage by 2030, the Farms of the Future program continuously reimagines sustainable methods for potato cultivation. Currently, McCain owns and operates two Farms of the Future in Canada and South Africa.
Together, McCain and Impakt are committed to exploring new opportunities to address the global food insecurity crisis.
CAREMAKERS FOUNDATION
Petro-Canada approached Impakt to develop a new community program that would strengthen its identity as an iconic Canadian brand. The program needed to resonate with diverse interests within the company and across the country. Impakt led a comprehensive research process, engaging internal and external stakeholders, culminating in a groundbreaking co-creation session at the YMCA.
Recognizing that over 8 million Canadians dedicate their lives to caregiving—an essential yet often unrecognized role—Petro-Canada established the CareMakers Foundation. The Foundation committed $10 million over five years to raise awareness and support caregivers.
Impakt continues to support the Foundation by developing discussion papers led by those with lived experiences, addressing key issues in Canadian caregiving, including national opportunities, systemic challenges, and equity in caregiving.
HOME DEPOT FOUNDATION
The Home Depot Canada Foundation sought to create a signature program that would address a critical social issue and establish itself as a national charity of choice. Youth homelessness, a pervasive problem undermining the health, education, and future of vulnerable young people in Canada, was chosen as the focus. Impakt engaged Home Depot executives, associates, communities, and homeless youth to assess the issue's impact. This collaborative effort, supported by advisory councils and a youth homelessness symposium, led to the creation of the Orange Door Project. Since 2014, the Home Depot Canada Foundation has invested over $50 million in preventing and ending youth homelessness, supporting 120 local organizations across the country.
