Stacy’s Rise Project™ Launches in Canada to Support Women Entrepreneurs\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Applications open today for the opportunity to be one of four women running small businesses who will be awarded a $15,000 CAD grant and access to a mentorship program with leadership from PepsiCo Foods Canada and Frito-Lay\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As a woman-founded business, the Stacy’s brand believes in celebrating and supporting women with entrepreneurial passions. For the first time, the snack brand will be launching the Stacy\u2019s Rise Project™ in Canada as part of its ongoing efforts to support women entrepreneurs who are still experiencing a lack of resources needed to help them rise.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"stacy's<\/p>\n

Until October 28, 2022, Canadian women running small businesses can apply for the Stacy\u2019s Rise Project™ at www.stacysriseproject.ca<\/a>. Four recipients will be selected to receive a $15,000 CAD grant and gain access to a once-in-a-lifetime mentorship opportunity with PepsiCo Foods Canada and Frito-Lay leadership from across North America to help them grow their businesses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter a successful U.S. launch in 2019, we are proud to expand the Stacy\u2019s Rise Project and start our journey in Canada where there are more than 1.1 million entrepreneurs.\u00a0 Across the country, women-owned businesses receive an estimated 4% of VC funding so we know there is more to be done,\u201d said Jess Spaulding, Chief Marketing Officer of PepsiCo Foods Canada. \u201cIt is important for programs like the Stacy\u2019s Rise Project to continue expanding so that more women receive the support they need through funding, mentorship, and resources.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For its Canadian launch, the Stacy\u2019s Rise Project™ has partnered with the Women\u2019s Enterprise Organizations of Canada (WEOC), an authority on women\u2019s entrepreneurship in the country. Together, the organizations aim to address the unique challenges that women face and support them on their paths to establishing a successful business through funding, mentorship, and community.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the many barriers experienced by women entrepreneurs in Canada and the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, women continue to play a leading role in the management of new businesses, creation of jobs and advancing innovation,\u201d said Alison Kirkland, CEO of Women\u2019s Enterprise Organizations of Canada. \u201cSupporting women entrepreneurs is integral to the recovery and growth of our national economy and it is programs like the Stacy\u2019s Rise Project that bring us closer to gender parity in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Based on a 2022 study by Maru\/Blue, commissioned by the Stacy\u2019s brand, 9 in 10 Canadians (87 percent) agree that there needs to be more support and resources (such as funding and mentorship programs) to help support women entrepreneurs in Canada.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, only about half of Canadian women entrepreneurs are aware of the support programs available to them (51 percent) or believe they have a strong network of support and mentorship (52 percent). With programs like the Stacy\u2019s Rise Project™, it is important to continue to empower more Canadian business founders to gain access to the resources they need.<\/span><\/p>\n

About The Stacy\u2019s Rise Project<\/span><\/b>™<\/span><\/p>\n

Since 2017 in the U.S., Stacy\u2019s Pita Chips has connected thousands of women with each other and provided nearly $1,000,000 in funding, in addition to resources and mentoring to elevate the leaders that help our communities thrive. The Stacy\u2019s Rise Project™ was launched in the U.S. in 2019 and has since supported over 50 women founders and provided over $450,000 (USD) in grants. This is the first year the program has expanded to Canada in the brand\u2019s effort to support women entrepreneurs across North America.<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, the project will also be debuting a short film, directed by Canadian film director Nisha Ganatra, and narrated by Punjabi-Canadian best-selling poet Rupi Kaur. The film will feature four past Stacy\u2019s Rise recipients and the stories of their struggle and success as entrepreneurs to bring to light the resilience and fortitude needed to propel us into the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

The film is produced in partnership with Hello Sunshine, a media company founded by actress Reese Witherspoon with the goal of creating and discovering content that celebrates women.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stacy\u2019s Woman-Founded Story\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

As a women-founded business that grew from a sandwich cart to nationwide distribution, the Stacy\u2019s brand is building upon its legacy of helping women rise through the Stacy\u2019s Rise Project™.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When Stacy Madison started making pita chips at her sandwich cart in Boston, she knew passion, hard work, and using only quality ingredients were what her customers deserved. Stacy would make baked pita chips every day and would hand them out as free samples to customers waiting in line for their sandwiches. The samples were an immediate hit, and Stacy\u2019s Pita Chips was founded shortly after in 1997.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, more than two decades later, the brand is still committed to its values and doing what it takes to make the best snacks. True to the brand\u2019s history as a women-founded business, the Stacy\u2019s Rise Project™ was created to help women entrepreneurs of today through mentorship, grants, and community.<\/span><\/p>\n
