The Wisdom of Strategy: Our Strategic Alliance with Circles of Impact

In the world of social enterprise, passion gets you started, but strategy keeps you going. For years, we’ve been inspired by the wisdom of Sara at Circles of Impact. Now, we are taking that relationship to the next level as we work to secure the future of Alberta Bike Swap through professional grant writing and strategic growth.

Circles of Impact is a consultancy dedicated to helping non-profits and social enterprises maximize their reach. Sara is a powerhouse of knowledge—wise, deeply experienced in the nuances of grant writing, and a truly wonderful human being who cares about the success of the organizations she mentors. Sara is more than a consultant; she is a mentor who understands that for a non-profit to scale its impact, it needs the right keys to unlock the right doors.

After years of listening to Sara’s advice from the sidelines, Laura has officially taken the plunge—booking a professional appointment and enrolling in a grant writing course under Sara’s guidance.

• Fueling the Future: Grants are the engine that will allow us to expand our reach and scale our events.
• The Chain of Care: While we manage the bikes, Sara manages the sustainability of the mission itself. Her wisdom ensures that organizations like ours don’t just survive, but thrive.
• Data-Backed Success: Sara’s approach aligns with our measurable carbon accounting—she values measurable impact and clear, data-driven storytelling.

As a busy two person non-profit initiative, we value expertise. Sara doesn’t just teach you how to write; she teaches you how to think strategically about your impact. We are honoured to have her in our corner as we write the next chapter of Alberta Bike Swap.

If you lead an organization looking to make a bigger splash, look to Circles of Impact. Sara’s wisdom is the spark every change-maker needs.
