Les fonds supplémentaires attribués en mars 2023 aideront l’organisme à actualiser le plan stratégique et mettre à jour la trousse à outils axés sur la direction qui ont été élaborés à l’aide du financement initial pour inclure les pratiques exemplaires relatives aux mesures d’aide en santé mentale pour les entrepreneures, un nouveau besoin qui s’est manifesté durant la pandémie de COVID 19, et ensuite à diffuser les résultats par l’entremise de ses parties prenantes et des communautés de partenaires.
