CCAB’s Indigenous Women Entrepreneurship Fund 2023 was presented by LNG Canada with a contribution from Paper Excellence. The fund was open to Indigenous women-owned businesses that have encountered systemic barriers to lending relationships, and have been disadvantaged because of the pandemic. The fund was administered through CCAB’s Tools and Financing for Aboriginal Business (TFAB) program to enhance Aboriginal entrepreneurship through providing access to development and networks.
