RADIUS SFU and Embark Sustainability have partnered to provide funding in amounts ranging up to $2,000, depending on project size and budget, to SFU students.
The Social Innovation Seed Fund provides students access to early-stage financial support for projects, initiatives, programs, or processes intended to create positive social, economic, or environmental transformation for SFU and its communities.
Created to unlock the potential and seed the development of social innovation projects by SFU students, it is also intended to contribute to the development of a robust social innovation landscape at the university, accelerating the development of sustainable innovations and student social innovators emerging from SFU.
Social innovation can be broadly defined as “innovation that is social both in its ends and its means.” Student Social Innovation Projects are initiatives, ventures, products, programs, events, or processes intended to create positive social, economic, or environmental transformation for SFU and/or its communities.
All students from across SFU are encouraged to apply for the Seed Fund. A primary team member must be an active student at SFU or a recent alumni (i.e. within six months of their convocation date).
