The Saskatchewan Consortium announces the second round of Government of Canada’s Investment Readiness Program recipients by awarding $333,350 to nine social purpose organizations within Saskatchewan.
Both rounds of funding combined for a total of $736,700 to 20 organizations within Saskatchewan. Click here to view the results of round one.
The IRP is designed to help social purpose organizations scale up their social enterprises to prepare to accept investments. The eventual goal is for these organizations to be able to participate in the social finance market and generate a return for investors while having a positive impact on their communities.
