Funding and mentorship available through 2023 Bright Ideas Pitch

ACCESS is back in-person with the 2023 Bright Ideas Pitch in Toronto.

After online edition during the pandemic, the ACCESS Bright Ideas Pitch returns as a live pitch for youth-led organizations and grassroots groups to apply for funding and mentorship from ACCESS.

Hosted annually since 2016, we’ve provided many groups with a boost to support the positive social change they are creating.

Micro-grants of up to $1,000 each are available, and ongoing mentorship will be provided to the selected projects.

This year’s pitch prioritizes youth-led groups or projects that started within the last 3 years, and/or those that have not received other funding since the pandemic.

• Submissions accepted until April 1 at 11:49 pm

• Live pitches in Toronto later this spring.

  Applications are open at accessinnovation.ca/pitch.
