Nunavut Grants & Funding
27 programs available in Nunavut
Grants in Nunavut come from two main sources: federal programs open to applicants across Canada, and provincial and territorial programs funded specifically for Nunavut. Many organizations qualify for both, so it's worth reviewing federal and Nunavut programs side by side rather than assuming one rules out the other. This page lists 27 open programs available to applicants in Nunavut, updated as programs open and close.
Funding in Nunavut spans small business financing, workforce training, research and innovation, clean energy, agriculture, and arts and culture. Each program sets its own eligibility around applicant type, sector, project stage and location, and most grants are non-repayable — always confirm the funding type and deadline on the individual program before you apply.
