Government Grants in Canada: Common Questions
What government grants are available in Canada?
Canada offers thousands of government grants across federal, provincial and municipal programs — covering business financing, workforce training, research and innovation, clean energy, agriculture, and arts and culture. This directory brings 1,400+ programs together so you can search them in one place.
Are there both federal and provincial government grants in Canada?
Yes. Federal programs run nationwide, while each province and territory funds its own programs tied to local priorities. Many organizations qualify for both, so it's worth filtering by your region to see federal and provincial funding side by side.
Who can apply for government grants in Canada?
Eligibility depends on the program. Grants target specific applicant types — small businesses, nonprofits and charities, Indigenous-owned enterprises, municipalities and researchers — and set rules around sector, project stage and location. Each program page lists its exact eligibility criteria.
Do you have to repay government grants in Canada?
Most government grants are non-repayable, unlike loans. Some funding is offered as repayable contributions or as a mix of grant and loan, so always check the funding type and terms on the individual program before applying.
How do I find government grants I qualify for?
Start by filtering this directory by your region and category, then review each program's eligibility, funding amount and deadline. Focusing on programs that are currently open and match your organization type is the fastest way to build a shortlist worth applying to.
Government grants in Canada come from three levels: federal programs that run nationwide, provincial and territorial programs tied to where you operate, and regional or municipal grants aimed at local priorities. Most are non-repayable, but each sets its own eligibility rules around applicant type, sector, project stage and location — which is why the same organization can qualify for one program and be ineligible for the next.
The categories on this page narrow the field fast. Filter by region to surface provincial and federal funding available where you're based, or browse by theme — business financing, workforce training, clean energy, research and innovation, arts and culture, and more — to match grants to what you actually do. Deadlines and funding ranges are shown on every program so you can prioritise what's open and worth pursuing.
Whether you're a small business, nonprofit, Indigenous-owned enterprise or municipality, this catalogue brings federal and provincial grant programs together so you can search one place instead of dozens of government sites. Open any program to see funding amounts, eligibility, deadlines and how to apply.
