$1M boost supports program aimed at strengthening Indigenous economies – Vancouver Is Awesome
UBC Sauder receives TD Ready Challenge grant to grow Indigenous entrepreneurship program
Creating real, lasting social change requires more than intention – it demands investment in programs that equip changemakers with the tools to lead. That’s exactly what the TD Ready Challenge aims to do through its available $1M grants: support organizations that are tackling barriers head-on and helping to build communities where everyone has the chance to succeed.
One of the latest recipients of a TD Ready Challenge grant is the UBC Sauder School of Business, which has been awarded a $1 million grant to expand its Ch’nook Management Program (CMP). With this funding, the Vancouver-based school will be able to provide more Indigenous entrepreneurs and small business owners with the skills, resources and networks to build thriving, community-led businesses. The initiative with UBC marks a meaningful step toward economic reconciliation and reinforces the importance of Indigenous self-determination in shaping Canada’s business landscape.
