Our Story
Where It All Began
Bill was a film nerd as a kid, always making 8mm films with his friends. That turned into a career as a filmmaker and serving as Treasurer of the motion picture industry in Alberta. He started Cornerstone Communications, a social enterprise that marketed nonprofits. On December 24, 1999, he received a call from the owner of a financial services firm, who had been referred to Bill by the Calgary Foundation. Before Bill knew it, he was hired by the owner to help grow the business and Capacity Builders was born. The contract lasted for three years and the business thrived. Soon, nonprofits were beckoning at this door seeking help.
