Help Us Close the Gap: The 2026 Capital Elle Business Impact Award Media Kit is Here
Women own nearly 40% of Canada's small and medium businesses. Fewer than 2% ever surpass seven figures in revenue.
That's not a knowledge gap. It's not a talent gap. It's an access gap, the distance between what founders are capable of and their proximity to decision-makers, capital, and the relationships that move a business forward.
The Capital Elle Business Impact Award exists to close that gap, and this year, we're inviting our whole community to help us do it. That's why we've put together a complete media kit, ready-to-use, so anyone who believes in this mission can help spread the word.
What's in the Media Kit
We've built this kit to make sharing as easy as possible. No editing required, just pick what fits your platform and go.
1. Visual Assets
Everything you need to show up for the award online and in your inbox, including:
Social media post graphics
Blog feature images
Email banners
And more
Every visual comes in two versions: one for before September 2, when applications are still opening soon, and one for after September 2, once applications are officially open. Each file is clearly labeled, so you'll always know which version to use and when.
Access the VISUAL ASSETS Here.
2. Written Assets
Words to go alongside the visuals, or to stand on their own, including:
Guest blog posts
Email newsletter copy, in both long-form and short-form
Short and long social media captions
And more
Mix and match however makes sense for your community. Pair a long-form email with a pre-September visual, drop a short caption alongside a feature image, or run a guest blog post as-is. It's built to flex around how you already communicate.

Why We're Asking You to Share It
Every founder who applies for this award, and every dollar of capital that moves because of it, starts with someone seeing the opportunity and passing it along. That's you.
If you're a past applicant, a partner, a follower, or simply someone who believes ambitious women deserve a fair shot at the capital and relationships that grow a business, this is your invitation to help us reach the founders who need to see this.
