Momentum Calgary

About

Momentum is a change-making organization that combines social and economic strategies to reduce poverty. We use a holistic approach that covers everything from financial literacy, entrepreneurship and skills training, to developing communication skills, building self-confidence and establishing positive social networks.

At Momentum, everything we do is grounded in a community economic development model, which means we work with individuals, businesses and systems to build a more inclusive local economy. To us, it's more than just creating jobs and starting businesses—it's about inspiring vibrant communities where everyone plays a role.

Our work is focused in these areas:
• Programs and services for people that are living on low incomes to increase their ability to manage and save money, develop new skills or start a business.
• Support to communities and businesses to build and sustain the local economy from the ground up.
• Leadership and advocacy for system-level changes, including policies and practices that remove barriers and allow people to be more financially stable.

It takes a lot to get out of poverty—courage, ingenuity and perseverance. At Momentum, we believe in people. No matter where they come from, their religion or culture, our participants embrace the opportunity to develop new skills and knowledge, so they can move toward the life they want—for themselves, their families and their community.
