Causeway and Ashoka Canada have partnered with socialfinance.ca to promote social finance in Canada.

Causeway is a collaborative project on social finance anchored with Social Innovation Generation (SiG) National. Causeway’s goals are to fast-track Canada’s adoption of social finance.

Ashoka is an international community of social and business entrepreneurs who are actively changing the fields in which they work. Ashoka lays claim to nearly 2,000 social entrepreneurs, known as Fellows, across 63 countries. Using a cutting edge nominator network, Ashoka chooses its applicants, locating the most innovative entrepreneurs with the strongest prospects for social impact locally, nationally, and globally. In Canada, an exemplary Fellowship has emerged, made up of award-winning social entrepreneurs affecting change from Newfoundland to Victoria. This strategic selection process makes Ashoka an excellent resource for Canadian policymakers, private funders and social investors interested in investing in massive, positive change.
