About This Cause
Windmill Microlending / Le Moulin Microcrédits is a national charity founded in 2005. Leveraging a unique social finance model, Windmill helps skilled newcomers overcome barriers to professional employment by providing low-interest, accessible loans of up to $15,000 and tailored support services. The organization envisions a Canada where skilled immigrants are integrated equitably, contributing their expertise to the nation’s economic and social success. In 2024, Windmill reached the milestone of disbursing over $100 million in loan funds, an achievement made possible by the support of public funders, private donors and a network of over 1,000 partner organizations. Windmill’s clients represent over 150 countries of citizenship and many professional sectors including healthcare, business, IT and STEM. What they have achieved with support from Windmill is remarkable, on average tripling their incomes from loan outset to close. Not only does the support Windmill provides transform the lives of its clients, but it also leads to significant gains for Canada, boosting productivity and enhancing cultural diversity. The Veritas Foundation determined that for every dollar invested, Windmill generates over $5.50 in social and economic returns. Windmill believes that when we empower immigrants, we empower Canada.
