The Impact
Sponsorship directly supports our growing membership by allowing CCIB to:
Educate & Train
Consistently deliver high-quality programs.
Amplify Indigenous Voices
Provide platforms for knowledge sharing and understanding.
Bring Nations Together
Create opportunities between businesses, entrepreneurs and communities.
Program Sponsorship Opportunities
Through sponsoring a CCIB program or initiative, you are contributing to our shared path toward economic reconciliation. Below are some opportunities our sponsors can take advantage of.
Host a Webinar
Provide Indigenous entrepreneurs with learning and development opportunities to grow their businesses, while highlighting your organization’s engagement with the Indigenous business community.
Become a Program Partner
Program sponsorships are a great vehicle for organizations to make a difference within the Indigenous economy while enhancing their relationships and reputation with Indigenous businesses across Canada.
Networking Event
Networking sponsorships bring together Indigenous entrepreneurs with local corporations and governments to provide a space for Indigenous entrepreneurs to connect with like-minded peers and provide valuable networking opportunities.
Establish a Grant
Establishing and funding a CCIB grant is an excellent way to help Indigenous businesses and entrepreneurs get the funding they need for their businesses to prosper.
Fund a Research Publication
Funding CCIB research supports Indigenous peoples, communities, and companies, and helps inform the development of policies and programs for federal and provincial governments and Canadian corporations.
We have had great exposure from our relationship with CCIB. I look forward to many more years of collaboration!”
–Brian Ritchie, Certified Indigenous Business, CEO – kama.ai
