The Social Enterprise Fund invests in organizations and initiatives that have the ability to create significant positive social impact on society.

We invest in all types of organizations…all shapes, sizes, and corporate structure. We work mainly in Edmonton but have a significant amount of investments across Alberta in a wide range of sectors including housing, arts & culture, human services, the environment, and in economic reconciliation.

 

“SEF’s funding was absolutely a life-saver for us. It gives me great pleasure that, less than four years later, we’re in a position to return this capital so that it can go on to other good causes.”
David Cheros
Executive Director, Metro Cinema
