One year ago today, Femmessor launched its new impact funding envelope for businesses with diversified ownership and in the same breath became Evol. Expanding its clientele, the organization maintained a clear objective: to help create a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable economy.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on Femmessor\u2019s 25 years of experience, today Evol offers funding and personalized support to entrepreneurs who want to have a positive impact on society. Through the support of the Government of Quebec (via its agent Investissement Qu\u00e9bec), National Bank, BDC, the Fonds de solidarit\u00e9 FTQ, and Fondaction, Evol has a budget of $52.5 million to support the creation, growth, acquisition, and succession of businesses with impact and\/or that want to implement structuring efforts in sustainable development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn celebrating this first anniversary, my thoughts turn to our clients and their enthusiasm for building prosperous businesses that create value for society,\u201d said S\u00e9vrine Labelle, CEO of Evol. \u201cI would also like to point to the incredible mobilization of our board, team, ecosystem partners, members of the entrepreneurial community, political actors, and the business community. By working together, we can bring real change to our economy. And in these uncertain times, we need that more than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In less than one year of operation, Evol has granted over $7.1 million to businesses that have made or have committed to making concrete efforts in sustainable development. Its team also offered support to close to 3,000 entrepreneurs, representing over 10,000 hours invested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvol has become an essential resource in entrepreneurship,\u201d said Dani\u00e8le Henkel, spokesperson for Evol. \u201cWith its funding envelope dedicated to entrepreneurs who are underrepresented in the ecosystem and who wanted to make a contribution to society, and thanks to the significant expertise of its team, Evol has what it takes to help develop the full entrepreneurial potential of Quebec.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","point-of-interest-category":[],"news-category":[],"news-tag":[],"class_list":["post-11901","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nEvol marks its first anniversary with $7.1 million awarded to businesses with diverse ownership - evol<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.evol.ca\/en\/news\/evol-marks-its-first-anniversary\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Evol marks its first anniversary with $7.1 million awarded to businesses with diverse ownership\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"One year ago today, Femmessor launched its new impact funding envelope for businesses with diversified ownership and in the same breath became Evol.
