Empowering Non-Profits,
Transforming Communities
// W E L C O M E
Born and raised in the Netherlands, I immigrated to Canada in 2012.
By December 2013, I had started my career in the social impact sector.
My intention with this website is to tell you more about me and the impact I achieved over the last 10 years in a format that goes beyond a traditional resume.
In short, I raised $90.6 million in grants, donations and debt financing for both non-profit and for-profit organizations and clients. As a consultant, I have worked with over 70 clients across Ontario and Nova Scotia. My leadership, design and implementation have scaled numerous social enterprises and impact programs that have provided employment to over 165 individuals.

Kindly,
Nick van der Velde
