The McGill Dobson Centre for Entrepreneurship has grown considerably since its founding in 1988 under the late John Dobson, BCom’49, a known advocate for free enterprise and entrepreneurship. The Foundation has continued to offer financial support to advance the Centre's efforts, including a $2 million gift to support the McGill X-1 Accelerator in 2017 and a $3 million gift in July 2020.
Others in the community have also stepped up to support the Dobson Centre's programs and initiatives, including Mr. Avrum Morrow, the Mastercard Foundation, the Murdoch Family, National Bank, Interac and many others.
