This bursary provides financial support to independent artists interested in increasing their financial literacy through Generator’s programs.

Jordan Mechano Bursary Fund

The fund was founded in 2020 to honour the life of Jordan Mechano, an independent artist and graduate of Generator's Financial Literacy Program.

After participating in the program in 2018, Jordan said, "I finally have a foundation to operate from when I am producing my own work. [...] I not only gained important skills, but Generator remains a guiding source for support as I move forward with my independent practice."

Registrants for Financial Literacy for Independent Artists programs have the option to enter the lottery for the Jordan Mechano Bursary Fund, which awards bursaries of $150 to cover program costs.

On behalf of the family, friends, and colleagues of Jordan Mechano, we are thrilled to honour Jordan’s legacy with the Jordan Mechano Financial Literacy Bursary. Jordan Mechano was a valuable member of the Toronto theatre community as an actor, writer, and live performance artist. His work was seen in Toronto and Glasgow, Scotland. Jordan had a strong connection with Generator, having taken the Financial Literacy course in 2018.

Thanks to the donations gathered since early 2021 we are able to support independent artists as they seek the support and guidance to continue making art while managing their finances with greater efficiency. This initiative is something we believe Jordan would have supported and we are thrilled to be able to offer this bursary.

“The Financial Literacy course at Generator was a game changer. As a recent theatre school graduate, and an actor with multiple streams of income, I had no idea where to begin. The team at Generator was so helpful and patient, all of my beginner-level questions were welcomed with open arms, and they did a fabulous job of providing tools which leave me feeling confident in my ability to budget and file my own taxes moving forward. Most importantly, I'm leaving the program feeling in control of my relationship with money.

I'm so grateful for the Jordan Merchano Bursary, which allowed me to take this class without any financial strain. I recommend this program to anyone and everyone who is feeling intimidated by their finances, and is ready to take control of their life again.” —Alyssa Pothier, Bursary recipient, Winter 2021
