The Clarence Campeau Development Fund supports the economic development of Métis people in Saskatchewan with a mix of non-repayable equity grants and loans for business start-up, expansion, and acquisition. Dedicated streams help Métis women and Métis youth aged 18 to 39 overcome barriers and add to their equity when approaching other lenders. Applicants must hold a Métis Nation Saskatchewan citizenship card and run a Saskatchewan-based business.
