Who we are
We are a community-focused social enterprise that encourages local economic development and diversification through impact investing. We provide strategic advice and capital to innovators and high-impact projects.
COVID-19
The health and well-being of you, your enterprise, and your community is our top priority during the COVID-19 challenge. We stand ready to support enterprises through to a more stable period. We are offering recovery loans for organizations negatively impacted, and providing relief for enterprises experiencing hardship as a result of the outbreak. We encourage you to stay informed about the disease, and monitor Canada’s COVID-19 Economic Response. Our offices are closed to the public, though we continue to offer telephone consultations and hold virtual meetings, and encourage enterprises seeking advice
to email our team.
What we do
We offer social finance that includes: affordable loans for business and social enterprises; equity investments for high-growth ventures; and grants for targeted sectors.
Our experienced social finance team help innovators connect to a diverse network of entrepreneurs, investors, and community organizations that are well-integrated into the wider innovation ecosystem – locally, regionally, nationally, and abroad.
Building sustainable
communities
We support the transition of local communities to the new rural economy and promote sustainable development that leads to shared prosperity, creating the jobs of tomorrow and preparing communities for the economy of
the future.
