Support the Social Entrepreneurship Fund

St. Francis Xavier University (StFX) has developed an ecosystem for young entrepreneurs who care about giving back to their communities. In collaboration with the StFX Discover Box and the Gerald Schwartz School of Business, this newly established Social Entrepreneurship Fund supports burgeoning social entrepreneurial students who need modest start-up funds to bring their business plans to life.

Initiated by StFX alumnus and entrepreneur Alex Dorward ’11, along with support from several Xaverian friends and colleagues, the Social Entrepreneurship Fund provides $4,000+ to a student to off-set business costs, along with mentorship from the StFX DiscoverBox, Gerald Schwartz School of Business faculty and/or Xaverian entrepreneurs. Any full-time StFX student is eligible to apply. The first Social Entrepreneurship Fund will be given out in January 2024.
