CELEBRATING 10 YEARS

ANNUAL REPORT 20112012

OF ASHOKA CANADA

Like the oak tree, Ashokas growth can be seen in its cross-section. As the rings of an oak tree record its growth, Ashokas beginnings have formed the core of what followed, with each year expanding on the impact of the year before it. Here we share with you our top 10 accomplishments over our 10 years of growth in Canada. 10. Being entrepreneurial.
Ashoka sits at the intersection of social change and entrepreneurship. We constantly innovate, attracting entrepreneurs committed to social change.

9.

Investing approximately $3,000,000 in social entrepreneurs and innovators since 2002.

This includes stipends to Fellows, Changemakers awards and seed grants to Youth Venturers and Be a Changemaker Challenge participants.

8. Connecting Fellows to strategic support.

In the last year, alone, we have connected Fellows with over 550 hours of pro bono strategic support from Blake, Cassels and Graydon LLP, Egon Zehnder International, H+K Strategies, McKinsey & Co., Young Canadians in Finance, our Ashoka Support Network and other senior, entrepreneurial advisors. We have also facilitated Fellow-to-Fellow peer support.

7. Contributing to a social entrepreneurship sector in Canada.

We have contributed to a collaborative ecosystem to support social entrepreneurs in Canada along with partners from all sectors.

6. Enabling changemaking on campuses.

We have built strong partnerships with post-secondary institutions and campus leaders committed to make their campuses hubs of social entrepreneurship education.

5. Establishing patterns of changemaking among young people.

We have supported young people to launch their own social ventures so they learn from a young age that they can make change. Over the last ve years, we have done this through Youth Venture and Be a Changemaker Challenges.

4. Launching our rst Changemakers Competition.

Through Inspiring Approaches to First Nations, Mtis and Inuit Learning, we heard from 266 innovators who shared their solutions to improve the learning environment and outcomes for Indigenous learners in Canada.

3.

Diversifying our Fellowship and our network of changemakers.

Canada is extraordinarily diverse and we are committed to ensuring that all of our programming reects this rich diversity.

2.

Building an amazing team.

We attract the most creative, talented and entrepreneurial team members. This team includes staff, interns, volunteers, funders, program partners, strategic partners, advisors and enthusiasts.

1.

Electing 44 outstanding Canadian Ashoka Fellows.

It is exciting and inspiring to be celebrating 10 years of Ashoka in Canada, especially on the heels of Ashokas 30th birthday celebration.
Although we are celebrating, there is still much work to be done to get to an Everyone a Changemaker world. As we roll up our sleeves, we recognize the important role that Canada plays in the global changemaking movement and are anxious to enable the ongoing contributions you will continue to make. This year, we watched the unfolding of the Changemakers Competition on First Nations, Mtis and Inuit (FNMI) Learning. This was a seamless extension of our global work in empathy, especially on activating empathy in schools. We were humbled by the success of the FNMI Learning initiative and hope to see Canadian education innovators take part in the global action on empathy. We have also had the pleasure of welcoming many Canadian Fellows at global events. From the Continuity Forum in Miami to ChangeNation in Ireland and the ASN Global Summit in Miami, Canadian Fellows always have a major presence and have demonstrated the highest levels of collaboration and changemaking. And its not just the Fellows, but Youth Venturers, University partners and ASN Members, whose presence adds value and perspective to our global work. This year, Ashoka was featured in a book by Beverly Schwartz entitled Rippling. The book describes the rippling effects of change created by social entrepreneurs. Just as a stone on the surface of a lake can only create a ripple because of the ecosystem dwelling below, so a social entrepreneur relies on an ecosystem to affect waves of change. Ashokas community serves as an ecosystem that supports survival, evolution and enhancement. Ten years from now, we will look back to see the ripples and impact we have created since 2012. That change starts today. Enjoy your read and then join us to create ripples of change over the next 10 years.

He was one of three Fellows to win $100,000 in prize money and the opportunity to scale his model with the strategic support of an advisory council of abc* entrepreneurs. As a result, Jean-Franois is now scaling his work to Mexico City.

Gabriel Bran Lopez Youth Fusion

As a result, Gabriel is currently scaling his work to over 50 schools, including 8 in the First Nations and Inuit communities in the James Bay and Hudson Bay regions.

Nicole Rycroft Canopy

Out of that forum Nicole has started to build an international advisory team to support the global scale-up of Canopys campaigns and initiatives with priority on the emerging markets of India, China and Brazil. Also, thanks in part to the support of Ashoka Canada, Nicole was awarded the Alan Thomas Fellowship of 2012-2013. This will enable her to develop an innovative scaling model for Canopy, to move to that next level of global impact.

With our partners such as Starbucks Canada and Boehringer Ingelheim, we enhance the social entrepreneurship experience and opportunities for their employees. Our goal is for the companies with whom we partner to play a greater role in society, incorporate social and environmental impact into the way they do business, and become leaders in demonstrating the power of these changemaking experiences at the corporate level.

Ashoka has supported the Centre for Social Innovation (CSI) in the launch of new CSI locations, which connect more than 800 social innovators.

Ed Waitzer
A long time champion of social innovation, Ed Waitzer rst learned about Ashoka through William Kelly, a colleague in the legal profession and a member of Ashokas global Board. Ed sought out a meeting with Bill Drayton where he learned that the Jensen family had just committed funds to start electing Ashoka Fellows in the United States. Ed jumped on the opportunity to extend this to Canada. By mobilizing additional partners, Ed helped bring Ashoka to Canada in 2002. He continues to serve on the Board of Ashoka Canada, is an ASN member, provides strategic support to Fellows, and has helped a number of other organizations scale to Canada.

Fusion Kitchen was a winning team in the 2011 AshokaStarbucks Be a Changemaker Challenge

Being one of the winners for the Ashoka Be a Changemaker Challenge helped propel Fusion Kitchen into the direction it has taken this year. Being surrounded by like-minded individuals at the competition, encouraged and motivated us to dream, think, and do big in order to provide the most value for the immigrant women we work with.

I have enjoyed building a relationship with Ashoka Youth Venture over the past three years and appreciate the opportunity to be involved with their social programs and help support our youth. The Be a Changemaker Challenge held last year at SFU and UBC was not only impactful to the students but also for me to inspire change within my community.

Laxmi was a member of the rst Canadian Youth Venture team

Nearly seven years ago, I had a big idea to change the way my community was perceived by the rest of the city.

Several years later, I have now found my way back to Ashoka, as a staff member at Ashoka Global. MY ROOTS is now a community organization and newspaper that continues to grow today.
