A Jubilee Fund small business loan can change someone’s world. Likewise providing more daycare spaces will enable parents the opportunity to be employed, knowing their children are in a safe and early childhood learning environment. Finally, by providing an opportunity for low-income individuals to have affordable and safe housing, the Fund helps to provide pride and dignity.

The target groups identified by the Jubilee Fund include people often denied by conventional lenders; low-income households and neighbourhoods, inner-city young people, single parents, people with disabilities, Aboriginal people and newcomers. Our target groups in most cases have never been extended this opportunity. Through our investments we aim to promote self-reliance, dignity, self-respect and a better quality of life for healthier communities. While we realize that the Fund can not eradicate poverty in Manitoba or Winnipeg; it can and does make a difference.

These are the goals the Jubilee Fund hopes to achieve through its ability to guarantee loans. The Fund provides an avenue for organizations and individuals to help create a more just and caring world. You can be part of the solution to helping individuals obtain a better quality of life.

If you invested just 1% of your investment portfolio to the Jubilee Fund, you would be part of the solution. That 1% investment will provide you with modest levels of financial return combined with emotional satisfaction that comes from investing in your community.
