Mastercard, Pier Five partner for small business fund

As part of its new Secret Sauce campaign, Mastercard partners with Pier Five, a platform that uncovers creative entrepreneurs and helps tell their stories, to offer five women-owned small businesses across the country a chance to receive $10,000 in funding. All five business owners will also be invited to a "Priceless Experience" that brings women from across Canada together for a once-in-a-lifetime community-building event. It's an opportunity to connect and learn from peers and Mastercard executives to help develop their businesses. You can apply until the end of the month through this link.

The Secret Sauce campaign aims to elevate the visibility of women small business owners in the culinary space and help them through support, funding, and resources they need to grow their businesses.
