The Jubilee Fund helps build communities
Sometimes the only thing keeping a smart business idea
from taking off is a little cash and moral support. That, in
essence, is what the Jubilee Fund is all about.
The Jubilee Fund Inc. provides loan guarantees to individuals and organizations looking to develop economic initiatives that promote self-reliance, human dignity and a better quality of life for the individual and the community.
These individuals and projects would not be eligible for loans from traditional banks or credit unions.
We do not give grants.

Local food store gets support, twice
Three years ago, the Jubilee Fund helped with an expansion project for a community based organic food store. Organic Planet, as it was called, faced several setbacks including cost overruns. By the time it opened, cash flow was down and suppliers called in their receivables. The business closed. Along came five workers, determined to revive the business, they formed the Organic Planet Worker Co-op. And with more help from the Jubilee Fund, they opened again in the heart of Winnipeg's Wolseley area.
