Why did we create the term social profit? To serve as a guiding principal for everything we do. And why is that important to you? Because by creating a vibrant social profit sector that is capable of the transformation needed to solve the most urgent challenges of our generation, together we can effect real change.
OUR VALUES
WE DO WHAT’S RIGHT, NOT WHAT’S EASY
We strive to display integrity in everything we do, consistently challenging actions and behaviours not in line with our values. Focusing on honesty, respect, and mutual trust, we vow to do the right thing, no matter what.
WE EMBRACE “WE”
We leave our ego at the door, sharing information openly and putting our client relationship before our self-interests. We want to understand your business inside and out, including those personality quirks that make you, you. Through collaboration and co-operation, we serve WHAT is right, not WHO.
WE IGNITE GREATNESS
We push our team to strive for excellence, resisting less than great work in order to over-deliver. Through this enthusiasm and passion for our clients work, we aim to inspire everyone around us.
WE OWN IT
Through complete accountability, we accept responsibility for successes as well as failures. We learn from both and carry that experience forward for the benefit of ourselves and our clients.
WE SEE DIFFERENTLY
Our creativity and curiosity consistently push us to seek more knowledge and a better understanding of our client industries. We’re open to possibility and innovation by accepting new theories in innovation and design.
WE ARE BIG-HEARTED
As generous philanthropists ourselves, we’re constantly looking for opportunities to do more. Expressing gratitude frequently through thoughtful and selfless acts, our devotion to our clients’ values transforms the way we live our lives.
WE BECOME MORE
We strive to grow and constantly push our own skills and development. Taking risks and pushing boundaries, we’re constantly encouraging our team to develop further skills outside their comfort zone.

“We wanted to work with Ramp because it was clear they “just get what we do.” As a community based non-profit, it was important to stay connected to our grass roots, but also demonstrate the sophistication and polished feel that would instill trust and attract mainstream investors. The Ramp team facilitated stakeholder focus groups and then led us through a rebrand and website re-build that made our fundraising efforts more effective. Ramp helped us increase media attention, website traffic, and social media followers through media relations consulting and by managing digital advertising on our behalf. Budget is always a challenge for non-profits, but Ramp always provided a range of options that suited our budget and allowed flexibility. Ramp staff often went above and beyond to help us meet deadlines and achieve ambitious goals.”
