We don't apply for grants to fill quotas. We seek them to break cycles, build trust, and reimagine systems, from elder-led startups in Ontario, to refugee women in Kenya and Poland, to doctoral students driving medical innovation.
We're proving that when access and creativity meet, entrepreneurial ingenuity thrives, no matter who you are or where you're starting from.
