Capital Elle Business Impact Award Opens Applications to Support Canadian Women Entrepreneurs with $50,000 in funding

Backed by 32 leading partners including TD Bank and Investornomy, The Elleiance Network and Founder Erin Sisko launch Canada’s largest collaboration project.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, September 8, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Applications are officially open for the 2025 Capital Elle Business Impact Award, a $50,000 national funding initiative dedicated to supporting Canadian women entrepreneurs who have been overlooked by traditional capital systems. Created by Erin Sisko, founder of The Elleiance Network, the award is designed to fund the unfundable; these are women who have been told “no” by banks, grants, and traditional investors despite building bold, revenue-generating businesses.

“As a former commercial banker, I know firsthand the barriers women face when it comes to accessing capital,” says Erin Sisko. “Most funding systems were never designed with women in mind. They were built for male-dominated industries, asset-heavy models, and those who already had access. The Capital Elle Business Impact Award is here to change that, because no woman should have to build alone.”

With **29 partners—27 of them women-owned businesses—**this award has become Canada’s largest collaboration project for women entrepreneurs. Partners have contributed not just logos but real, tangible support in cash, services, and expertise to create lasting impact for women founders nationwide.

--TD Bank
--Thunder Bay Hydraulics
--Investornomy
--The Social Snippet

These organizations came together under one shared mission: to rewrite the rules of who gets funded in Canada.
