We are looking for people with projects that combine good business potential with a boost to the community. Small business, non-profit housing projects, development and expansion of daycare operations, worker training and co-operative ownership programs are all suitable.

If your dream comes with a sound business plan and community benefits - we should talk.

Guidelines for Loans

Contact the Jubilee Fund office at (204) 975-2650  or email jubileefund@shaw.ca for more information.

Each application is assessed on its social goals and its financial viability.  Each applicant must demonstrate the skills needed to carry out the day-to-day operation and management of the project they are proposing. Our goal is to ensure that projects are not only financially viable, but that they contribute to social goals in the local community.

We Can Help - Getting Started

Just call us to talk about your idea. Meeting all our investment financing criteria - like having a business plan - will go a long way to keeping you on track for success.  And, we will help you with contacts and information where we can.   The Jubilee Fund network will also do its best to help you succeed with business tips and advice - and even mentoring.
