The federal government has initiated and funded, with serious money, a brand-new program creating the Social Finance Fund, to drastically expand the social economy. This year, $50 million is flowing, and is set to quickly increase to $75 million per year for the next 10 years. The fund is intended to address a major impediment to growth of the social economy — the shortage of investment capital.
