The Visa Grant Program is an initiative designed to empower women entrepreneurs across Canada. Through this program, Visa is offering twenty grants of $10,000 each, along with access to an accelerated mentorship program in partnership with YSpace at York University.
This funding can give your business a significant boost, enabling investment in key areas like product development, marketing, or business expansion.
This mentorship program provides personalized guidance through a one-to-one matching system, pairing you with an experienced mentor who offers tailored insights, advice, and support to help your business grow.
To be eligible for the Visa Grant Program, applicants must be women entrepreneurs with at least 50% ownership of a registered business, non-profit, or social enterprise, working full-time on their venture. The business must generate at least $50,000 in annual revenue and be based in Canada. Applicants should be open to growth, willing to step out of their comfort zone, ready to give back to the community, and able to fully commit to the 4-month mentorship program.
