Entrepreneurial talent is everywhere. Access shouldn't stand in the way.

Canada is at a crossroads.

Trade wars, economic instability, and backlash against equity efforts are reshaping the world young Canadians are stepping into. Technological disruption is accelerating. Inequality is widening.

In this new reality, it’s not credentials or connections that will set future leaders apart — it’s entrepreneurial skills: the ability to adapt, innovate, and lead through change.

Yet across the country, too many young Canadians with the ambition to drive change are navigating a system where opportunity remains disproportionately shaped by privilege — not by potential.

A stronger, more inclusive economy won’t happen by chance. It will be built by entrepreneurial leaders equipped to navigate and create change.

Now is the time to invest in the next generation and ensure entrepreneurial careers are a pathway for the many, not a privilege for the few.

Scaling access to entrepreneurial careers.

The Fellowship Program exists to bridge the gap.

Through hands-on startup experience, entrepreneurial training, mentorship, and a strong peer network, the Fellowship prepares recent grads to thrive in an economy defined by change.

But access for a few isn’t enough. Canada needs a generation ready to lead and a community ready to invest in them.

That’s where the VFC Giving Circle comes in.

By pooling our gifts, we create greater impact: funding more Fellowships, expanding access to entrepreneurial careers, and equipping more graduates with the tools they need to lead and build Canada's future.

When you give, you’re not just making a donation — you’re staying part of a community that's shaping what's next.

If VFC opened a door for you, this is your chance to hold it open for someone else.
