Purpose Beyond Profit

Putting our Values into Action

Purpose Beyond Profit is a not-for-profit initiative that TPG started in 2018 that works to leverage our unique business and operational skill sets to support our community in a sustainable way. Each year, TPG donates a portion of consultant hours to not-for-profit organizations that support marginalized and vulnerable groups. We provide these organizations in-kind service expertise that dramatically impacts their operations and ability to serve those who depend on them. This initiative speaks to the values of the TPG team because we are dedicated to supporting causes that are close to our hearts, giving back to the larger community, and using our skills to expand social initiatives.

The Communitas Awards recognizes exceptional businesses, organizations and individuals that give of themselves and their resources, and those that change how they do business to benefit their communities.

Through Purpose Beyond Profit, The Poirier Group comes together for the good of the community. Communitas winners are recognized for specific programs involving volunteerism, philanthropy and ethical, sustainable business practices.

Non-Profit Strategy Consulting

The Poirier Group is proud to be one of Toronto’s premier consulting firms. Our team has years of experience providing sustainable management strategies to charities, non-profits, corporate citizens, and social enterprises. We execute growth strategies and internal strategies that seek to grow our non-profit partners’ scope and ability to help marginalized communities. Our initiative eliminates the financial barrier to accessing consulting services, providing them the services they need but often don’t have access to. As we improve the effectiveness and strategic decision making of not-for-profit organizations, we redirect a greater percentage of their annual donations from administrative and overhead costs to the actual causes they serve

Our group of experts will consult your organization and chart a course of action that will allow you to achieve your goals no matter your financial capacity.

Previous In-Kind Client Work

"The passion, commitment, dedication and support from The Poirier Group was above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. I would highly recommend the services of The Poirier Group for any company looking to improve their operations and gain a greater insight into their programs and culture."

"On top of the flawless execution of this workshop, it is clear that The Poirier Group has great knowledge and expertise within the industry."

“We had an excellent experience with the Poirier Group. The team was professional and responsive. They helped us streamline our tracking tools and processes allowing us to focus more energy on what matters – the program participants.”

Our task for the Poirier Group was to help reframe Second Harvest’s business planning to support our national growth after 30-plus years as a Toronto- and Ontario-based organization. Their team helped us develop our FY21 business strategy and plan, providing templates and supporting materials to reflect these changing needs; they were also responsive and very personable. Thank you for generously sharing your time and expertise so that we can be well positioned to best serve our community partners across Canada.

TPG took the time to fully understand how we were using our time as a management team and the challenges we all face. TPG presented us with an outstanding and well-articulated plan to enhance our HR capacity and to allow us to work more effectively. We were shown the benefits to not only our management team, but to the agency as a whole. Their recommendations will improve the work environment for our dedicated staff team members. They consistently put our needs first and tailored a solution that was as individual as we are.

[Press Release] The Poirier Group Commits to Support Vulnerable Communities in Collaboration with the Consumer Goods Forum

The Consumer Goods Forum (CGF) has today announced its members are working together on actions to support vulnerable communities by providing in-kind consulting services to non-profit organizations. This is part of a coordinated, global response to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on those who have been hit hardest by the pandemic. The move, involving 45 CGF members from around the world, including some of the world’s biggest retailers and manufacturers, is a response to a CEO-led call to action for members to step up and act locally to help alleviate the health and economic burdens now being experienced by people globally.

Accessing TPG’s non-profit management consulting is a fantastic way to ensure your organization is evolving with the times and improve its ability to strengthen and serve your community. Generating more significant social impacts and giving back to the community is a crucial initiative of TPG. Our team has overseen great success using our non-profit management consulting expertise to strengthen our non-profit partners’ foundations.

"The Poirier Group has four foundational, core values that we believe in and that form the foundation of our culture, the way we run our lives and our business—Serving, Learning, Integrity, Excellence. Serving, expanded, includes serving our clients, of course, but it also includes serving our team members and then also importantly, serving the higher good. That last part includes serving our community. So, spending a portion of our life’s energy to significant not for profit organizations that serve the needy, the needs of our society and greater community is worthy and something that we are committed to because it’s the right thing to do and it’s consistent with our core values"

"The Purpose Beyond Profit initiative is an opportunity to take the skills we hone as consultants and apply them in a way that not only lets us help people, but makes entire organizations more efficient at helping large numbers of people. I love being able to help people as a consultant, being able to do that while helping a charity really gives an extra sense of meaning and worth to the work we do at TPG."

"My involvement in PBP has been one of the highlights at TPG. I get to work with a non-for-profit that directly impacts young people in the Greater Toronto Area who are going through a very tough time in their life. Being involved during Covid-19 has been extra sentimental to contribute to this cause"

Holiday Goodwill Initiative

We are truly fortunate in many ways with careers, friendship, security and family because there are many others who do not have such. As a part of our Purpose Beyond Profit, every holiday season, each TPG employee was given some money to “Pay it forward” to help those who are less fortunate by supporting a cause or organization of their choice. Check out how each TPG member decided to use their money!

Let’s Give Back to Our Community Together.
