The goal of the EBD fund is to: increase the number of sustainable Aboriginal businesses and provide a supportive business environment for Aboriginal people in the territories; develop a culture of entrepreneurship within the Aboriginal community and to improve access by its members to economic opportunities; improve access to funding for territorial Aboriginal businesses that have difficulty obtaining conventional commercial financing, and increase the participation and economic benefits for Aboriginal persons that come from resource development.
