Side Hustle

​

Designed for passionate, go-getter individuals in the Prince Albert & District Community Futures (PACF) service area, this program offers up to $500 in non-repayable funds to launch a side business. 

​

The $500 can be put towards critical costs such as social media and advertising, website and e-commerce development, bookkeeping support, capital purchases, or other expenses as approved by the Program Manager. Funds are not meant for direct sales, multi level marketing, or to go towards purchase price of an existing business. With intakes September – November and January – March, we’re ready to support you through every step. Seats are limited, so we encourage you to submit your application early!
