Social Capital Partners

What is Social Capital Partners?

Social Capital Partners (SCP) is a non-profit organization based in Canada that has operated since 2001, focusing on facilitating growth financing and providing advisory services to enhance employment opportunities for individuals outside the mainstream economic landscape. SCP invests in a variety of industries including Business Solutions, A.I., Big Data, Real Estate, Construction, and Investment Management with investment sizes ranging from a minimum of $1,000,000 to a maximum of $42,000,000.

They target businesses that are willing to integrate a community hiring model, aimed at expanding career opportunities for motivated individuals. Beyond providing capital, SCP engages in public policy research, invests in initiatives, and advocates for ideas that counter inequality and broaden access to wealth, ownership, and opportunity. Their efforts encompass a holistic approach to economic growth that redistributes the benefits more equitably among the working population.

SCP champions ideas that create pathways to wealth for working people and strongly believes that 'who owns the economy matters.' Their work includes promoting employee ownership, fostering local economies, leveraging capital for community benefit, asset building, and actively participating in changing economic narratives.

SCP also explores new ideas and concepts through research to confront challenges in wealth distribution and economic resilience.

They seek to address the growing wealth inequality in Canada, which they deem not as severe as the United States but closer than most understand, due to underrepresentation in official data. They emphasize the transformative potential of Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs) to preserve company legacies while bolstering workforce economic resilience.

SCP remains active in disclosing their insights and advocating for policy changes through various media engagements and research publication.
