Shaping The Next Generation of Leaders
Enactus Canada is a registered Canadian charity that inspires and educates post-secondary students to use innovation and entrepreneurship to solve big problems. By empowering post-secondary students at over 75 campuses through real-world experiential learning, we’re fostering a community of values-driven changemakers who are using business as a catalyst for good.
We have an AA rating and five-star review from The Veritas Foundation, an independent evaluator of Canadian charities. This puts us in the top 6% of 53,000 charities in Canada, based on a rigorous review of our strategy and mission, finances, governance, operations and impact. For every $1 donated, Enactus delivers $3.68 in social value, nearly double the Canadian charity average.
Whether you’re a student ready to lead, a donor passionate about impact, or an alum eager to give back — there’s a place for you at Enactus Canada.
Our work is grounded in tangible results. Each year, Enactus Canada students launch hundreds of projects that change lives—locally and globally. These efforts are backed by robust support systems, training, and a community of partners committed to nurturing leadership and purpose.
Last year, over 2,100 Canadian post-secondary students launched and operated 150-plus community empowerment projects, with a direct and positive impact on the lives of over 29,000 individuals.
