What is The Stacy’s Rise ProjectTM?
The Stacy’s Rise Project™ is a program committed to empowering and supporting women entrepreneurs on their paths to establishing a successful business through funding, mentorship, and community. At Stacy’s, our mission is to #HelpWomenRiseCA.
Inspired by our own roots as a woman-founded company, the Stacy’s Rise Project™ was launched in the U.S in 2019. The program has connected thousands of women entrepreneurs and provided over $1,000,000 in funding in addition to resources and mentoring to elevate the leaders that help our communities thrive.
There are approximately 1.1 million women entrepreneurs in Canada1, but many of these women face barriers to proper funding and mentorship, which limits professional growth.

Stacy’s Woman-Founded Story
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 sandwich.
The samples were an immediate hit, and Stacy’s Pita Chips was founded shortly after in 1997.
Even two decades later, we are still committed to our values and doing what it takes to make our best snacks. True to our history as a woman-owned business, we are thrilled to help women entrepreneurs of today rise through mentorship, grants, and community.
