The Jubilee Fund helps finance the work of social enterprises, non-profits, cooperatives or charities that support Manitobans affected by poverty. Jubilee fund is a charity, and Manitoba’s only charitable ethical investment fund.

How it Works

Manitobans invest in Jubilee Fund using a GIC model. Investments are pooled into an interest-bearing account. Qualifying organizations receive loan guarantees, direct loans or bridge financing.

Organizations repay loans (which builds their credit and/or assets!) We use repaid loan funds to provide more financing to more organizations helping fight poverty.

Examples of poverty reduction work:

• job creation
• job readiness training
• support for youth coming out of care
• rent-geared-to-income housing
• newcomer settlement
• subsidized childcare
• services for people with intellectual or physical needs
• mental health services
• financial counselling
• tutoring
