During a visit to the company Proud Diamond in Montreal, Ms. St-Onge announced that Evol would be receiving two financial contributions totalling almost $10\u00a0million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A non-repayable contribution of $5&nbsp;million has just been added to the Evol impact financing fund, which now totals $60&nbsp;million. This fund enables Evol to lend up to $450,000&nbsp;to businesses with diverse, inclusive ownership that generate positive impacts aligned with the UN\u2019s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other financing announced today, of $4,475,800&nbsp;over two years, will support Evol\u2019s coaching offer. This amount will help us finetune and enhance coaching services and build partnerships within the ecosystem to better meet the needs of groups underrepresented in entrepreneurship that are now Evol\u2019s focus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEvol\u2019s 25 years of experience in financing and coaching have shown that offering guidance is a key to the success and survival of the businesses we finance,\u201d said S\u00e9vrine Labelle, Evol CEO. \u201cBy expanding access to services to a broader clientele, Evol has adjusted its offer to meet needs observed on the ground. We are delighted with this new partnership with Economic Development Canada, which will enable Evol to be even more successful in its mission to help create a more inclusive, sustainable economy.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt Evol, we know entrepreneurs can be agents of change,\u201d said Cadleen D\u00e9sir, Chair of the Board of Evol. \u201cBut to do this, entrepreneurs need financing, coaching, resources, and tools to promote their success. With the CED support announced today by Ms. St-Onge, we can help even more entrepreneurs in search of equity have a positive impact on our world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"simple-slider theme-innerblock__block aligndefault\">\n    <span class=\"theme-innerblock__block__label\">Simple slider container<\/span>\n  \n    \n<div class=\"simple-slider__slide theme-innerblock__block aligndefault\">\n    <span class=\"theme-innerblock__block__label\">Single slide<\/span>\n  \n    \n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.evol.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_0086-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15020\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.evol.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Annonce-Dec-Evol-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15022\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n                    \n\n\n<div class=\"simple-slider__slide theme-innerblock__block aligndefault\">\n    <span class=\"theme-innerblock__block__label\">Single slide<\/span>\n  \n    \n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.evol.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_0089-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15024\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.evol.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_0078-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15028\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n                    \n\n\n<\/div>\n\n                    \n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","point-of-interest-category":[],"news-category":[],"news-tag":[],"class_list":["post-15658","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.6 (Yoast SEO v27.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Evol welcomes funding announced by Minister St-Onge - 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-welcomes-funding-announced-by-minister-st-onge\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Evol welcomes funding announced by Minister St-Onge\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Evol is delighted with today\u2019s announcement by the Honourable Pascale St-Onge, Minister of Sport and Minister responsible for the Economic Development Agency of Canada for Quebec Regions.
