Be a part of the annual giving campaign to bring the Innovation & Impact Challenge to students this year, and strengthen innovation across the country.
The Innovation & Impact Challenge is a result of Enactus Canada alumni turning their passion into collective action to create real change together.
This Challenge is truly an alumni legacy – from its creation to annual funding to regional and national judging – Enactus Canada alumni are the driving force.
Collectively, alumni provide essential support to:
Deliver mentorship, resources, and opportunities that help teams test ideas, grow their confidence, and maximize their impact.
Your contribution to the Innovation & Impact Challenge itself has a deep impact. It provides Enactus teams, regardless of their size or experience, an opportunity to participate in this one-of-a-kind challenge.
This year, we are calling out your competitive nature and have a challenge for you – help raise the profile of the Innovation & Impact Challenge and raise some funds to make it possible by creating your own fundraising challenge page.
The five alumni who raise the most money before May 31, 2026, will be entered to win a round-trip flight to São Paulo, Brazil and join Team Canada at the Enactus World Cup.
By participating in the Alumni Giving Challenge, you’re helping ensure that the Innovation & Impact Challenge continues to thrive for years to come. Your support:
