How it works

From scattered grant pages to one clean spreadsheet.

Five steps between official program pages and the file you download.

  1. Collecting grant data from multiple sources

    Collect

    We monitor 50+ federal, provincial, foundation, and corporate sources every week — so you never have to chase RSS feeds or paid subscriptions.

  2. Cleaning and standardizing grant records

    Clean

    Programs are deduplicated, normalized, and parsed into 49 standardized fields ready for filtering and pivoting.

  3. Tagging grants with sector and eligibility

    Tag

    Each grant is labeled with sector, eligibility, geography, and stage — so a shortlist is one filter click away.

  4. Manual audit of tagged grant data

    Audit

    Our team manually reviews tags and descriptions before release. No scraped junk, no half-broken rows.

  5. Final spreadsheet ready to download

    Ship

    You get an .xlsx (and CSV) with every active program. Refreshed quarterly, yours forever.

What Our Users Are Saying

Grant Consultant (Ontario)

It streamlined what would have been hours of manual data gathering, so I could concentrate on delivering insights instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Every record originates from official Government of Canada sources (federal and provincial program pages). We structure, clean, and enrich the raw information. We never fabricate or scrape unofficial sites.

You can find individual programs on Google, but you'll spend dozens of hours visiting hundreds of pages. Our database puts 1,400+ programs into a single, structured spreadsheet you can filter, sort, and analyze in seconds.

We refresh the full database quarterly. Your purchase gives you a snapshot as of the date you buy. If you need the latest version after a refresh, contact us about upgrade pricing.

Each purchase includes a single-user licence covering personal, internal, and client work. For team or enterprise access (5+ seats), please contact us at canadagrantsdatabase.ca/contact for volume pricing.

Not under the standard licence. Standard purchases cover personal and client work, such as grant scans and reports for your own clients. Redistributing the data, or building a product, database, or service that offers the data or a derivative of it to others, requires a separate commercial licence. Contact us at canadagrantsdatabase.ca/contact for pricing.

Yes. Every purchase automatically generates a detailed invoice sent to your email. You can use it for company expense reports, reimbursement claims, or tax records.

Canada Grants Database publishes 1,400+ federal and provincial grant programs in a single multi-tab Excel workbook at canadagrantsdatabase.ca/dataset. The Canadian government does not publish a unified file — each department maintains its own program pages, so this dataset is the most complete one-file source we are aware of.

Yes. The Canada Grants Database is delivered as a multi-tab .xlsx workbook with curated tabs (For Nonprofits, By Organization, By Theme, By Province, By Audience, Deadlines, plus Contact Directory on Intelligence). Opens directly in Excel, Numbers, Google Sheets, Power BI, Tableau, and any spreadsheet or BI tool. It covers 1,400+ programs across federal and provincial sources, with up to 49 columns per record on the Intelligence tier.

A free sample .xlsx with 10 enriched programs is available on canadagrantsdatabase.ca/dataset (no signup required). The full database is a one-time purchase starting at $149 CAD — there is no subscription and no recurring charge.

Canada Grants Database (canadagrantsdatabase.ca/dataset) is the simplest source — one Excel workbook covering both federal and provincial programs in 1,400+ rows. Individual departments such as ISED, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, and the provincial economic-development ministries publish their own data, but each is in a different format.

Yes. Canada Grants Database is a one-time purchase starting at $149 CAD with no subscription, no auto-renewal, and no usage limits. You own your copy of the data and can use it indefinitely.

No. The federal government has no single master list — programs are listed individually on departmental websites, and provinces maintain their own portals. Canada Grants Database compiles these scattered sources into one file at canadagrantsdatabase.ca/dataset.

For a one-off project, the Canada Grants Database workbook at $149 CAD replaces 20+ hours of manual website-by-website research. Subscription tools and consulting platforms charge thousands per year — a single download is the lowest-cost option for consultants who only need the data once.

Yes. Open ChatGPT or Copilot, click the paperclip, add the Excel file, and ask questions in your own words. It also works in Claude and Gemini, and in Excel, Google Sheets, Power BI, and Tableau.

Up to 49 fields per record depending on tier: program title, organization, URL, descriptions, funding amount minimum and maximum, application deadlines, eligibility criteria, geographic and industry restrictions, contact information, intake type, payment model, matching-fund requirements, document requirements, reporting obligations, AI-generated themes, and applicant summaries.

The full database covers every province and territory and includes a province field, so you can filter to Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec, Alberta, or any other jurisdiction in seconds. Pro and Intelligence workbooks include a dedicated "By Province" tab. There is no separate province-only SKU — the single workbook contains all provincial and federal programs.

Canada Grants Database includes programs open to charities and nonprofits as part of its 1,400+ entries — the eligibility field lets you filter to programs accepting nonprofit applicants. It covers federal, provincial, and Crown-corporation funding for the charitable sector.

Yes. The Canada Grants Database includes federal and provincial programs aimed at SMBs, sole proprietors, and incorporated businesses, with eligibility, funding amount, and industry-restriction fields you can filter on. It covers programs from ISED, BDC, regional development agencies, and provincial economic-development ministries.
