The Investment Readiness Program
Funded by the Government of Canada, the Investment Readiness Program (IRP) supports Social Purpose Organizations (SPO’s) to build their capacity to participate in Canada’s growing social innovation and social finance ecosystem IRP Grants and Contributions Program!
The goal is to help social purpose organizations prepare for the Government of Canada’s broader investment in social finance via the Social Finance Fund.
