AMEX Backing Canadian Small Businesses

Applications are now open for American Express Canada's grant program aimed at empowering locally significant small businesses to grow and drive community impact. Funded by Amex Canada and administered by DMZ at Toronto Metropolitan University, 100 Canadian small businesses will be selected to each receive a $10,000 CAD grant and mentoring support from DMZ.

Each selected business will receive mentoring support consisting of small group sessions and one-on-one meetings with experienced DMZ program mentors. In addition, on a part-time basis, small business owners will receive coaching on areas relevant to their business, such as sales, marketing, operations, and leadership.
