NEXTinc.
This social enterprise trains women to offer energy-efficiency consulting services to businesses, such as home energy auditing and operating performance improvement. This will help women gain employment in an industry where they are underrepresented. Some of the revenue generated by NEXTinc. will be invested into the Enterprising Women Program – a 90-hour business accelerator for first-time female entrepreneurs that is operated by the Saint John Community Loan Fund. NEXTinc. aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals of creating opportunities for women and reducing our environmental footprint.
Grant amount: $50,000
