Partner Profile: Mompreneurs Momentum

Who they are

Over the past 5 years, the Mompreneurs® group has grown to be a Canada-wide ‘movement’ which has developed into:

• Multiple team members and chapter locations across the country
• A non-profit arm in partnership with the Federal Government of Canada and The Coca-Cola Foundation
• A national Award Series and Conference, and a quarterly magazine.

As sole owner of the trademarked word ‘mompreneur’ in Canada, the organization now has a membership and online community of over 17,000 members and subscribers within Canada and the U.S, a social media community over 80,000 strong, and a team that extends through Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia.

They have been thrilled with the development of Mompreneurs® Momentum Enterprise of Canada (Momentum), a new not-for-profit organization that complements the Mompreneurs® network to further provide educational resources, content, and opportunities for current and future members.

Momentum is the first Canadian organization to take part in Coca-Cola’s 5by20 program, a worldwide initiative dedicated to supporting the economic empowerment of 5 million women entrepreneurs across the globe by the year 2020. With the support of The Coca-Cola Foundation, Momentum will be helping to provide educational support for economic empowerment to 10,000 Canadian women entrepreneurs by the end of 2016, with a goal to continue supporting women leading to the program's closing in 2020.

"With Mompreneurs® Momentum Enterprise of Canada we are so honoured to be working with Status of Women Canada and The Coca-Cola Foundation to offer education-based learning and practical curriculum at a level that is attainable for all women in business, no matter the industry or their level of experience. It opens up a world of endless opportunities."
