HOW WE DRIVE IMPACT
Learn About our Goal to Create Billions of Dollars in New Philanthropic Capital Through M&A
STS offers entrepreneurial business owners the opportunity to create a legacy through their financial success and philanthropic initiatives, helping them achieve an Extraordinary Exit™. By helping clients sell their businesses and realize maximum financial value, we provide limitless opportunities to reinvest their proceeds for good, channeling incremental sale assets into foundations, trusts, and other philanthropic activities that can make a meaningful and lasting difference. This approach to philanthropy, is core to our foundation and sets us apart as a unique M&A firm.
STS stands for Success to Significance™ through Selling to Strategics™, and we strive to embody that by changing the world for the better. As a long-term passion of our Founder and Chairman, Rob Follows, giving back is a key aspect of STS’s approach to M&A.
CREATING IMPACT THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS
STS has formed deep strategic ties with our Impact Partners, through these connections, we give back to these charities through various actions. Below are a few key examples of select partners. Contributing financial donations, offering our time, sharing our expertise, or providing professional connections are a few ways we amplify these causes.
We also encourage those who join our Success to Significance Charity Fundraising Program to support these charitable organizations and many
others in our network.
Empowering Charities. Enriching Communities.
Altruvest is a Canadian charity that recruits, trains, and matches qualified corporate leaders and willing volunteers for board positions within local charities, strengthening their capacity to deliver community services and give more to the cause.
Altruvest was founded by STS Founder and Chairman, Rob Follows, and our firm has contributed to its operations and the expansion of its governance practices in the charitable sector. Over the past decade, STS has also donated millions of dollars to elevate and further the impact of Altruvest.
Share knowledge. Scale impact. Shape the world.
Knowledge Impact Network™ (KIN) is a nonprofit dedicated to scaling social impact by repurposing and redistributing knowledge – an underutilized asset. Through their Impact Circles, intimate forums of 8-12 participants, KIN addresses specific causes to alleviate hardship and uplift humanity. By combining human subject matter experts, advanced technologies, and the multiplier effect of sharing knowledge – referred to as Augmented Intelligence – KIN maximizes its impact.
Reimagining Scaleable Solutions To Homelessness
DignityMoves is a nonprofit organization (co-founded by STS Managing Director Smoke Wallin) working to catalyze solutions to end unsheltered homelessness. DignityMoves focuses on building Interim Supportive Housing communities where everyone has the dignity of a private room and can receive critical wrap-around services.
