Additional Information
Established in 2008, the Trico Charitable Foundation seeks to close gaps in society by provoking innovation and building capacity in social entrepreneurship. Its work focuses on the Canadian context through four key areas of focus:
1) local capacity building tools and funding for non-profit social enterprises in Alberta, Canada;
2) a biennial Social EnterPrize which celebrates mature Canadian social enterprises (for profit and not-for profit)
and commissions case studies on the recipients;
3) The World of Social Entrepreneurship, an annual Calgary event in partnership with the local community that brings some of the best and brightest examples of social entrepreneurship from around the world to Calgary; and
4) working with the JW McConnell Family Foundation on RECODE, an effort to nurture social innovation and social entrepreneurship in Canada's post-secondary institutions.
