Funding and Grant programs are available for small businesses and organizations in Canada

Currently available within Southern Ontario to provide business support and services within our community, programs are helping to build a green, inclusive and globally competitive southern Ontario. The goal is to invest in companies that innovate, expand and diversify through support of organizations that provide business support and services within communities across the region.

By investing in people, potential, and possibilities, the goal is to help you grow so you can reach your potential and unlock new possibilities. There is an easy-to-use application process and people who are there to answer your questions. You do not need to sort through a list of programs to apply for funding, simply leave that part to the funding consultants who work with this on a regular basis.
