Prosper Canada is seeking applications from non-profit/charitable organizations to be part of a new project, Financial Empowerment Champions.  

Prosper Canada will collaborate with five organizations across the country to improve the financial wellbeing of over one million Canadians living on low incomes.

Project funding of up to $150,000 annually will be distributed over 4.5 years to each organization, to help them deliver and expand a set of five proven financial empowerment interventions. These organizations will be referred to as Financial Empowerment Champions (FEC) through the project.

This call for applications is primarily intended for non-profit/charitable organizations that are:

• working in urban settings;
• currently offering financial empowerment interventions to individuals living on low incomes;
• and are proactive evaluators of their programs.
