Project Examples
The SIA Fellowship Program is designed to train the next cohort of social innovation leaders while creating a knowledge base for social innovation and impact investing organizations. Fellows will produce high-quality reports commissioned by our partners, and participate in a social innovation training program.
This Challenge cycle, we have three questions issued by organizations in our network:
- How might we build WE REPRESENT Chapters across Canadian universities and set them up for success?
- What are the areas within cleantech that require attention from an early-stage impact investment fund?
- What are the best sales + marketing strategies and strategic pricing models to use for an organic baby food company?
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:
Provide a dedicated contact who is available to answer periodic emails or phone calls over the duration of the project to address students' questions.
Be available for an initial phone call with the team assigned to your Challenge as well as a mid-point check in call.
