Funding for coaching support

Innoweave provides funding to help organizations access coaching for implementing a new approach. It is expected that organizations will have discussed a potential scope of work with their prospective coach before applying.

Important update on Innoweave granting timeline

In 2023, Innoweave is offering the same level of funding support in 2 intake rounds instead of 3. This means that April 15 is the deadline to apply for coaching in 2023.

              • Round 1 (past) – Expression of Interest deadline: December 15, 2022
              • Round 2 – Expression of Interest deadline: April 15, 2023

This updated schedule will allow our team to devote time in the second half of the year to review our strategy and update our offering in response to the challenges the sector faces today. We will begin funding projects again in 2024 and will share details with you as we move forward on our website and in our upcoming newsletters.

Eligibility and requirements vary depending on the coaching stream you are interested in pursuing for your organization.

Social Finance Investment Readiness

The Government of Canada is disbursing millions in non-repayable capital to help social-purpose organizations access social finance. The disbursements are made via the Investment Readiness Program (IRP) partners, namely, Community Foundations of Canada, Canadian Women’s Foundation, Le Chantier de l’économie sociale, National Aboriginal Capital Corporations Association, and the National Association of Friendship Centres. All of these funding partners have opened multiple calls for proposals which have since closed. Check here for more information.

Many of the funded projects are listed here:
