Everyone should have the ability to not only
recover from times of uncertainty but rise from
them stronger than before. With the ScotiaRISE
initiative to promote economic resilience among
disadvantaged groups, Scotiabank has committed
$800,000 toward community investment with the
Canadian Women’s Foundation over four years,
supporting a national movement for gender equality
in Canada with grassroots economic development
programs. Scotiabank is listening, learning, and
dedicated to fostering a culture of gender equality,
support, success, and empowerment.
This partnership bolsters 10 affiliated organizations
that support women, trans, Two Spirit, and nonbinary people as they move out of poverty and
into increased financial security. Scotiabank’s
investment supports vital programs that foster selfemployment, training, and access to non-traditional
fields in skilled trades and technology for priority
communities.
Economic resilience doesn’t just happen – it must
be nurtured and invested in to support a better
future. By working together to remove barriers to
advancement and increase access to opportunities,

we can create a more inclusive and resilient
world for everyone. Thank you Scotiabank,
and the ScotiaRISE initiative for investing in
communities across Canada!
“Through ScotiaRISE,
Scotiabank is proud to
support the Canadian
Women’s Foundation’s
work supporting innovative
community programs
throughout the country,
empowering women to build
leadership and confidence
in securing their financial
success.”
