Ottawa gives group handout so group can promote life without handouts

Does this make sense to you?

The Fondation communautaire Gaspésie-Les Îles exists to to build a spirit of entrepreneurship in the Gaspésie. Since 2003, federal taxpayers have given the group $5.5 million which it has handed out to local businesses to create 350 jobs. The latest handout is $700,000 which, according to the press release from the federal government, is to help the Fondation “pursue its efforts to promote entrepreneurship and business succession.”

I always thought that being an entrepreneur meant you didn't need government handouts?

Am I missing something here?
