About FACE
FACE is a national and bilingual Black-led nonprofit organization focused on providing resources and information to the Black community across Canada with the aim of accelerating wealth creation for Canadians of African descent.
In partnership with the Government of Canada, FACE created a Black Entrepreneurship Loan Fund to help Black business owners with access to capital investments, working capital, or additional business resources for expansion. FACE has several other major partners that help further the mission of providing Black Canadians with the necessary resources, knowledge, and confidence to not only operate successfully as Black entrepreneurs but to thrive as a community across the nation.

Client Stories
I have a very unique and impactful story. Spreading the word of Have a Nice Day Pilates is crucial. Our loan allowed us to beef up our marketing and social presence. We were also able to continue building our web app and currently reached over 200 monthly subscribers and counting.
Applying for a loan in general is really stressful and there’s a lot of doubt but for me this process was pretty straight forward and I felt supported. I felt seen and heard and the folks at FACE went above and beyond and really helped me through the process.

Client Stories
My experience with FACE Coalition was absolutely outstanding and very professional. My case officer Rodney saw me through the entire process and helped me rework my application to ensure it would be approved.
My funding from FACE has helped me place an order for the initial factory feedstock of raw materials which will enable me start production as soon as the goods arrive. Without the FACE funding, my project would most likely have had to close down because I spent all my resources on setting up, warehouse lease/rent and licensing process and had no money left to take in feedstock.
