The Government of Canada’s Investment Readiness Program (IRP) is designed to put non-repayable capital in the hands of social purpose organizations preparing to seek investment, so they can make even more positive change in community. So if you are looking for the resources to research, design, launch or scale up your social enterprise so you are investment-ready, here’s your opportunity.

The application portal will be open for the first round of applications on January 8 and will be open until February 10. (Note: there will be additional application rounds prior to March 2021)

More information including program requirements, eligibility, and application information can be found in the Community Foundations of Canada Investment Readiness Program (IRP) Program Guidelines document.
