Jubilee Investment
Certificates

Rita Borthwick is the Fund Development Manager. See contact info here.

Jubilee Investment Certificates are purchased as three or five year term deposits by individuals, businesses and organizations. The investments are used to provide provide loan guarantees or bridge financing for community economic development projects which normally would not be eligible for loans from the traditional financial institutions.

Our investors are people who want to invest in a caring way by diversifying to the social as well as the financial bottom line and by creating opportunity where none existed before. These funds are pooled together and used as collateral to guarantee loans for community initiatives.  The interest received by investors is slightly lower the current market rate.  Investors can choose to donate their interest to the Jubilee Fund.

A caring way to invest

Jubilee Investment Certificates offer the investor a better way to diversify:  modest levels of financial returns combined with high levels of social return and personal satisfaction. The Jubilee Fund aims to foster long-term local community economic development by investing in projects that build community capacity to create employment, such as affordable housing, small business projects, including worker co-ops and non-profit community projects including non-profit daycares and youth programs..

Low income groups and individuals lack the financial resources which are usually available to middle and upper-income people.  The Fund targets low-income people in and around Winnipeg.  Through our investments we aim to promote self-reliance, dignity, self-respect and a better quality of life for healthier communities.

Your investment choices make more than a statement - they make a difference to people’s working & living conditions, local economies, the environment and to your community.

Jubilee Investment Certificate are purchased as three or five year term deposits.  The minimum investment is $500.  In dollars, the return is a little less than GIC rates.  But the emotional satisfaction that comes from investing in our community makes the most sense for Jubilee Fund Investors.
