Toronto’s nonprofit sector is vibrant, fast-moving, and deeply interconnected.
Leading within it requires clarity, strategy, and trusted partnerships. For more than eight years, we’ve had the privilege of walking alongside Toronto organizations as they navigate growth, embrace change, and turn bold intentions into results that last.
Executive Search
Strong leaders drive success, but retention is often overlooked. We help clients build talent strategies to strengthen teams and reach goals.
Governance & Planning
We help leaders build effective, well-structured Boards to create a unified approach that aligns, engages, and positions organizations for success.
Campaign &
Fundraising Counsel
We work with leaders to evaluate, plan, and deliver fundraising and campaign strategies that maximize opportunity.
Executive Coaching
Social profit success starts with strong leadership. We focus on developing the skills, curiosity, and growth that leaders need to realize their potential.
”We first engaged Doug and The Discovery Group as our Campaign Counsel, and our relationship quickly expanded to include program reviews and broader strategic guidance. Beginning with a market study, they developed recommendations that helped shape what has now become a $1 billion campaign. From the start, their approach has been collaborative and deeply aligned with our organization—bringing not only best practices, but practical solutions that truly fit our needs.
What sets The Discovery Group apart is their ability to act as true partners. They are responsive, insightful, and consistently anticipate opportunities and challenges that might otherwise be missed. Their guidance has strengthened our campaign strategy, enhanced our team’s effectiveness, and supported our leadership in meaningful ways. We have complete confidence in Doug and his team, and it is a genuine pleasure to work with them. I would recommend them without hesitation to any organization seeking trusted partners with the expertise and experience to help achieve ambitious goals.
