Grants and Funding for Social Economy Organizations in Canada for 2026 Canada’s social economy is growing rapidly. Grants and funding help these organizations expand their impact and strengthen communities. The social economy in Canada is a vibrant sector comprised of non-profit organizations, charities, co-operatives, social enterprises, and other mission-driven entities dedicated to social or environmental objectives. Rather than maximizing profits for shareholders, these social purpose organizations reinvest surpluses into their missions and communities.
