We wouldn’t be here without a little help
A list of all those that have helped to bring a little more emootness into the world.
NRC - IRAP
The National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC - IRAP) is a Federal Government organization supporting science and technology innovation in Canada. Thanks to our amazing Industry Technology Advisor, Anja Haman, Emoot was awarded $40K+ in contribution funding grants in 2024-2025. These funds supported a Youth Hire, building our first Gifting product, and provided us with valuable marketing consulting.

Venture for Canada
Venture for Canada (VFC) is a Canadian charitable organization supporting diverse post-secondary students with paid work-integrated-learning experiences in real companies. From day 1, Emoot has benefitted from the creativity and enthusiasm of the VFC intrapreneurs and intern students. In return, each student has earned an average of $1300 per cohort. In 2025, Emoot was honoured to be invited to participate in a pilot project for International Students at Langara College in Vancouver. Emoot founder, Nicola Claxton, has volunteered on VFC's Employer Advisory Council for 2 years and Emoot continues to engage with VFC students as we go.
The Centre for Digital Media
In 2023, Emoot engaged with The Centre for Digital Media (CDM) for a 3-month Industry Innovation Project. Six Masters of Digital Media students created our first prototype and demo video! Emoot is proud to support the CDM's ongoing Nourish & Flourish Initiative to support their student community with cash supplement sent through Emoot Gifting.
