Today Is Launch Day for Your Guide to Social Finance
Welcome to the launch of Your Guide to Social Finance. This is the first resource of its kind in Canada where people like you can get to know how social finance works for communities.
Your Guide is for social entrepreneurs and those interested in social ventures who are considering how social finance can support the opening, operation and expansion of enterprises that have a positive social and/or environmental impact.
Using stories, digital videos and interviews, Your Guide takes you through five key questions: the what, why, who and most importantly the how of social finance in Canada and beyond.
We are hosting a launch webinar with eight panelist who shared their stories of social finance at work under the following topic areas. Join us at 2pm ET today at https://sigeneration.webex.com/ and then JOIN "Your Guide to Social Finance."
