Impactful Selection
The Social Acquisition Fund is designed for individuals and charities interested in acquiring and running businesses in a way that positively impacts their communities and municipalities and beyond.
The Social Acquisition Fund promotes a new way of doing business that supports changemakers to buy out people who are doing important work but feel the need to give it up (retirement or other life changes). In this way, people who are doing important work can step away knowing that they won’t have to worry about whether what they’ve created will continue and if people receiving support will still get it. They can know that their positive contribution to their community, municipality, and province will go on.
Why not go big and think of their country? That’s what the management of home health care agency Just Like Family did in 2022 when they offered a group of impact investors and charity heads the opportunity, after running two franchises for a short time.
You can read more about Just Like Family by hitting the Case Study button anywhere on the website. Its full social acquisition story is also documented in “Win-Win Capitalism: How Social Acquisitions Will Change the Face of Business”:
“Great book and example of a successful Canadian Social Acquisition. All non-profits and all city Chamber members should have a copy of this book… Just Like Family Home Care is now the ONLY national Canadian-based home care company in Canada. With big American corporations purchasing huge territories of franchises with a purely for-profit business model, Social Acquisitions are a Win-Win for clients, families, and our communities.” – Karen Skoretz
