Join Canada’s Fintech and Funding Community
Welcome to NCFA Canada
Canada's Professional Crowdfunding Trade Association
Fintech and funding markets are vibrant and so is our membership of portals, consultants, entrepreneurs, investors, professional service providers such as lawyers, accountants, due diligence companies and start-ups, SMEs and social enterprise groups raising seed and growth capital interested in crowdfunding markets in Canada and beyond. Thank you for joining and helping us grow Canada's national crowdfunding community!
Supporting a Vibrant and Strong Fintech Sector
NCFA Canada has been founded, built and is supported as a grassroots organization. We're inclusive, community-based and membership-driven. Industry initiatives, events, programming, education, advocacy and infrastructure facilitation is largely organized and led by a volunteer network of advisors, ambassadors and board members. The organization receives critical funding from key industry sponsors/partners and much in-kind support and collaboration from the social enterprise and venture capital eco-system across the country including all levels of government, innovation centres, incubators/accelerators and academic institutions.
In effort to grow the community as widely as possible, membership at NCFA is operating currently on a freemium model, however we need your support to help to continue to build opportunities and more value for members while we collectively, in aggregate, develop the Canadian crowdfunding industry and supporting ecosystem. Our focus is on crowdfunding infrastructure, education and research, improving transactions, market integrity (risk reduction) and diversification.

Hi, I want to know how to make a crowdfunding request and start the procedure? Thanks
Hi,
My wife is starting an Indian Fast Food Restaurant. I am assisting her in getting it started. Can you please let us know if Crowd Funding will work for us in case we want to raise some money? Is it suitable for this kind of venture? How do we pay back to the investors?
Thanks for your help,
Amandeep

Hi
My daughter is participating in Miss Teen Canada and we are looking for pledges to help out with the expenses. how do I get started and which category?
Hi Alan, please check your inbox as we sent you an intro resource that can help you get started../thanks, CA
I want to know how to make a crowdfunding request. In other words… how do I get started with this thing?
Hi Cindy, thanks for your question. YES, you can sign-up as an individual. You are still required to fill out the input fields the best you can (to satisfy the requirements of our database). In the near future, we’ll be adding tools that will allow members to interact with each so welcome to the community and thanks for your support! All the best, CA
can i join as an individual without having a company name, address, etc. to enter?
Thanx for the info and I will be signing up soon! JW
Thanks for reaching out JW. We are planning to host regular events so please sign up and stay plugged in. NCFA Canada’s 1 year anniversary is just around the corner on Oct 5, so we may in fact aim to host a special event around then!…/best, CA
Just wondering if there might be an upcoming Toronto event as extensive
as the one scheduled for September 27th in Welland as I’m not sure if I
can fit that one in to my schedule … thanx, JW.

Welcome to our community!

We do actually have a logo and a link (we have a web site as well as FB pages) and we have a description…so should we join as a company, even though we are a charity and registered as such? Wow, already SOOOOO many questions! Eager to know as much as we can about this…
Sorry, I would think the rescue would want to join although I guess we could join using one member (me?) as the member?
So I volunteer with an animal rescue group…should our rescue group join this organization and if so under which column should we join…we are not a company, but we do have a BoD…everyone involved is unpaid, volunteering their time and their skills as needed…we work with ALL animals although the cast number are cats and dogs…we are in a low population area, with little access to major cities (4 hours in any direction minimum to a major city…am not clear on how this works, and wish to learn more if this can help us provide for such items as spay/neuter, vaccinations, feed and adoption drives to help the critters we support…await your response with interest!
Hi Marion, for those having issues with the [join free] button, please kindly try again from another online network, such as your home or alternative location. Thanks again for your support!
I would like to join but button doesn’t work… Thanks for your help and good luck!
Looking forward to tapping into the benefits of this. It’s a great forum to penetrate avenues for additional business opportunities.
