Compassionate Coworking
Coworking for Everyone
Community is at the heart of social impact, and we’re committed to reducing barriers to joining ours.
The Compassionate Coworking initiative offers fully-subsidized 3-month memberships to impact-driven individuals in need of a space and community to call home.
Our application period will run from August 11th until September 5th. If you have questions before submitting an application, please don't hesitate to reach out!
Who is Eligible?
We welcome applications from impact-driven entrepreneurs who may not otherwise have access to a full-priced membership.
Whether you're a newcomer, senior, or an individual from an equity-deserving group, including Black, Indigenous, racialized people and people of colour, people living with disabilities, and 2SLGBTQ+ individuals, we encourage you to apply. We're focused on supporting those who are building a business or community initiative that contributes to social or environmental justice.
We recognize that those most affected by climate and social injustice must be at the forefront of driving change, and we are committed to centering their leadership through this program.
What's Included?
Successful applicants receive a free three-month Part-Time Coworking membership.
