Founded with a vision to move beyond traditional structures to a more purposeful way of working.
Founded with a vision to move beyond traditional structures to a more purposeful way of working.
Blueprint began in 2012 with a single, powerful idea: put people at the heart of every decision. Over the past 13 years, we’ve partnered with non-profits and purpose-driven organizations to navigate complex challenges—always designing processes that foster connection, trust, and real progress.
Today, we’re proud to be a human-centric, AI-forward consultancy that helps leaders align teams, dismantle barriers, and take on the future with confidence. From strategic planning and stakeholder engagement to culture and operations transformation, our work is grounded in empathy, built on collaboration, and accelerated by technology.
We exist to shape a better future by mentoring emerging changemakers and strengthening the communities we love. We know the nonprofit world faces unprecedented demands, and we’re here to help leaders feel less overwhelmed and more supported. By investing in local talent, championing inclusive growth, and leveraging the best of AI, we aim to ensure that every organization—no matter its size—can access transformative strategies.

To reduce our environmental footprint, we’ve transitioned our office to a shared co-working space with other small businesses, minimizing resource use and energy consumption.
We subscribe to a corporate car share, encourage active transportation, source environmentally sustainable suppliers, and continuously seek new ways to reduce our carbon footprint.
We also actively seek partnerships with non-profits that support sustainability initiatives in communities, ensuring our work aligns with organizations making a tangible environmental impact.
When meeting in person, we prioritize physical and mental well-being—whether through outdoor walking meetings or choosing venues that align with our sustainability values.
Blueprint operates on Treaty 1 Territory, the traditional lands of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene Peoples, and the homeland of the Métis Nation. We recognize that Winnipeg’s water is sourced from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, a community deeply impacted by colonial infrastructure decisions.
Reconciliation is a continuous journey. We acknowledge the harm Indigenous communities have faced and commit to Call to Action #92, integrating reconciliation into our business practices. This means ongoing education, building relationships, and actively seeking Indigenous suppliers, contractors, and collaborators.
We are committed to consulting Indigenous peoples, ensuring their voices shape decisions that impact them. As members of the Indigenous Chamber of Commerce and The Winnipeg Chamber’s Truth and Reconciliation Advisory Council, we take action to create meaningful change.
We are committed to complying with the Accessibility Standard for Customer Service under The Accessibility for Manitobans Act.
Our policies, practices and measures reflect the principles of dignity, independence, integration, and equal opportunity for people with disabilities.
If a barrier to accessing our services cannot be removed, we seek to provide alternate ways to access the services.
Blueprint is committed to the dignity and worth of every person and to create a climate of understanding and mutual respect in our office and the wider communities we work with.
Our organization is committed to promoting respectful conduct, tolerance and diversity at all times. We are committed to doing the work required to be accountable to our community and providing an inclusive, welcoming environment for all.
