We Connect Change-Makers, Capital and Expertise to Improve People's Lives
The Backr initiative provides an online finance platform for investors to make positive change while making money, strengthening the local economy for all
Nova Scotians care about their communities. They want to invest their money locally, where they can see the positive impact. It is challenging however for local investors to connect with local investment opportunities.
The Backr investment portal is designed to host social innovation projects and connect investors to local investment opportunities that “do good” in their community - community-based enterprises that spark innovation and collaboration, allowing Nova Scotians to build stronger, more competitive sectors and regions.
More and more people are seeking to invest to make a difference on our planet
Backr makes it easy for investors to source locally vetted project opportunities, and to invest with impact. Impact investing is a sub-sector of finance that allows investors to make positive change while making money, strengthening the local economy for all.
The Backr platform technology, currently in development, is designed to boost local Nova Scotia’s competitiveness and increase productivity and growth, providing widespread benefits to its social-enterprise sector.
