Introduction to Social Finance | ATB

About the Webinar

Alberta is a great place to start a company or nonprofit with many supports and resources to get you started and help you grow. In this session, we will explore funding opportunities available to social entrepreneurs and nonprofits. Beyond raising donations or investments, you may discover new social finance solutions. We will look at various options, including debt and equity financing, loans, bridge financing, crowdfunding, public and private financing, repayment considerations, investment readiness, due diligence of investors, investor relationships and more. We will also introduce you to Namada - a valuable resource for finding eligible funding.
