SAGE INITIATIVE

Sage Initiative was incorporated in 2020 as Sus Loo Ltd., with a vision to enable a national ecosystem of Indigenous womxn’s trained in impact investment through a trauma-informed lens. Sage Initiative is the first Indigenous womxn’s impact investment collective across Turtle Island and have been recognized as a Bold Innovation by the Indigenous Innovation Program of Grand Challenges Canada. The Sage Initiative is specifically designed to build wealth and prosperity for Indigenous womxn and their families and communities by building the skills and capacity needed to make small to medium sized impact investments that have balanced social, environmental, and fiscal returns. Mitacs interns will support Sage Initiative in our growth period in the areas of business development and digital marketing by providing recommendations that improve effectiveness and efficiency.
