We are a global community of impact founders and investors, connected to create a sustainable, healthy & equitable world. Spring is for you if you’re passionate about creating positive change through business and seeking opportunities to turn that passion into action. We support a diverse range of founders at all stages of scaling their impactful solutions and the impact investors seeking compelling deal flow that makes a difference. The Spring Community brings together impact founders, investors, partners and collaborators in a refreshingly real way - no ego, masking or posturing needed. Be yourself, do great work and connect with others who care about balancing profit and purpose too. We are dedicated to creating inclusive + equitable opportunities for founders and investors who have been systemically excluded for way too long. This includes actively learning, unlearning, listening and iterating to create spaces of belonging where everyone who is Indigenous, Black or a Person of Colour, 2SLGBTQAI+, disabled, neurodivergent, newcomer or immigrant feels safe, heard and served. Visit our website, come out to an event, participate in our offerings and see if Spring is precisely what you need to achieve your goals for better business and a better world.

As resources become scarcer and funding sources more competitive, community impact organizations face increasing pressure to do more with less. Maximizing the return on every asset and building sustainable revenue streams are no longer just goals—they’re necessities for long-term success.

Yet it’s also an opportunity to innovate and grow in ways that create lasting impact. At Fortuna Social Purpose Consulting, we support organizations who know courage, creativity, and adaptability are key to making a real difference on a larger scale. If youre ready to build a sustainable approach to resources and revenue that boosts your organizations impact, were here to help you get there more efficiently and with confidence. Every organization begins at a unique starting point and has distinct needs when it comes to maximizing resources and generating revenue. Our suite of services is designed to transform your resource strategy, and we tailor these services into a custom Roadmap that aligns with your specific goals and challenges.

Welcome to Mount Royal University, where we foster a work environment of mutual respect, transparency and inclusiveness, and where talented and committed employees are the driving force behind student success. We believe we are stronger as a university when employees collaborate and bring diverse perspectives together. We invest in the wellness and development of our employees, knowing that it benefits both the individual and the university as a whole. Our culture, along with many services, resources and programs, encourages a healthy, productive workplace. As we strive to enhance our culture of innovation and excellence, we support faculty, staff and management to be innovative in their work -- in our classrooms and across our campus. This is a place where employees feel a sense of community and belonging. Where people feel supported in their work and enjoy the friendliness and familiarity that only a small campus can provide.
