When Ryan Young became the new Director of the Social Enterprise Fund in October he made it his mission to find new ways for one of the largest social funds in Canada to maximize benefits for Edmontonions. He wants identify the top issues that will create the biggest impact in Edmonton.
The Social Enterprise Fund was created in 2008 by the Edmonton Community Foundation in collaboration with the City of Edmonton. Rather than grants the Fund invests through loans with interest rates between one and three points above bank prime rates. The Fund has invested in excess of $90 million into more than 110 projects since its founding.
