Helping to build and empower community leadership

At the PricewaterhouseCoopers Canada Foundation, we're dedicated to providing the community and our people with the tools they need to strengthen their leadership skills. Whether it's learning about how to be a more effective volunteer, or providing financial support for leadership development at Canadian charities, we help people become more strategic in the ways they make a difference in the community. In the not for profit sector, we call this idea capacity building, and it's the core of our work and how we helping to build and empower community leadership.
