As communities consider how to rebuild their local economies in a post-COVID era, it is critical to ensure that our investments generate community value in addition to financial value. SVX has written extensively on the need to catalyze community investment to build more resilient and equitable communities across Ontario, but in this article, we will highlight the need to support women-led and women-serving businesses with place-based impact investment solutions. Investing in women-led organizations will be a critical part of our path to a just recovery that champions equity, innovation, and prosperity for all.

This post is part of a series of knowledge assets created for the Women of Ontario Social Enterprise Network (WOSEN), supported by the Government of Canada through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario.
