The Innovators & Entrepreneurs Foundation is committed to supporting entrepreneurs in marginalized communities across Canada.
In addition to possibly receiving a CANIE Micro-Grant of $5,000, the Foundation also commits to promoting the services of each grant recipient through our social media platforms and networks.
The Foundation has taken time to consider how to get the grants where they are needed quickly but also the industry sectors and businesses who have been particularly affected by the challenging events of the last couple of years.
