Boann Social Impact is one of three Social Finance Fund managers, backed by an initial $154 million federal contribution. It invests in impact funds and social finance intermediaries across Canada, with a focus on affordable housing, food and agriculture, climate, and underserved regions including Northern, Atlantic, and Prairie communities. Social purpose organizations do not apply to Boann directly; they apply to an intermediary that Boann has funded. The capital is repayable investment, not a grant.
Review times vary by program, from a few weeks to a few months, so check the official page for its timeline. Grant money is usually paid after you sign a funding agreement, and cost-shared programs often reimburse you once you send proof of what you spent.
