Featured Good Ideas
- In San Francisco, the Mayor’s Office led the launch of Bank On San Francisco, a partnership between the municipal Office of Financial Empowerment, local financial institutions and community-based organizations that helps introduce the “unbanked” to mainstream financial services.
- Based in Calgary, the Immigrant Access Fund (IAF) micro loan program provides internationally trained newcomers, regardless of occupation or training, with loans of up to $10,000 to help cover the cost of obtaining the licensing or training they require to work in their field in Canada.
