Indigenous Women Entrepreneurshp (IWE) microloan Program

KCFI is proud to celebrate the Indigenous Women Entrepreneurship (IWE) Microloan Program! We are pleased to deliver the IWE Microloan program in partnership with the National Aboriginal Capital Corporations Association (NACCA).

The five main pillars of the IWE program are:

  1. Research on Indigenous Women’s Entrepreneurship
  2. Role model campaign to spotlight successful and inspirational Indigenous women entrepreneurs
  3. Business tools and resources that are tailored to reflect the culture and circumstances of Indigenous women
  4. Workshops, training and mentorship on business and entrepreneurship
  5. Financial support for Indigenous women who want to start or scale a business
