How entrepreneurial is your charity? Are you constantly innovating? Asking tough questions? Build and leading successful, growing and dynamic businesses (aka charities)? At Hilborn we want to offer a heartfelt congratulations to our friends at CanadaHelps for being named one of Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year.

The prestigious business award is presented to entrepreneurs who have made a difference in their field, and “encourages entrepreneurial activity among those with potential, and recognizes the contribution of people who inspire others with their vision, leadership and achievement”.

“We envision a society where all Canadians are committed to giving and participating in the charitable sector; and one where all charities have the capacity to increase their impact. We’re motivated by knowing that even the smallest charity can grow their capacity when they have access to good technology and education. By connecting Canadian charities to millions of Canadians through our online platform, we’re offering them the tools and resources that will enable them to be more effective in their own communities, in fulfilling their missions.”—Marina Glogovac, Aaron Pereira, Matthew Choi and Ryan Little 

While announced on September 15th, the award will be presented to Marina, Aaron, Matthew, and Ryan at a gala event tonight (October 27, 2016) in Toronto.

Thank you CanadaHelps for providing small to mid sized charities all across the country with the resources and online tools they need to deliver their missions. Enjoy the party tonight and well done!
