What business owners are saying

★★★★★
"I had no idea there was this much funding available for a business like mine. I'd searched government websites and found maybe 5 or 6 programs. GrantCompass matched me with 23 โ€” some I'd literally never heard of, buried in agencies I didn't know about."
DT
Daniel Tremblay Tech Startup Founder, Vancouver BC
★★★★★
"GrantCompass was the first time I could actually see behind the curtain. The approval likelihood scores told me which programs I had a real shot at, and the insider tips read like advice from someone who's actually been through the process."
CG
Camille Gagnon Manufacturing Business Owner, Montreal QC
★★★★★
"A consultant quoted me $5,000 for a single application. The intelligence on each program in GrantCompass is the kind of thing I assumed only consultants knew โ€” which documents reviewers want, what gets people rejected, which programs you can stack together."
KZ
Kevin Zhang Marketing Agency Owner, Ottawa ON
★★★★★
"I didn't think there were programs out there for someone like me โ€” a young founder at an early-stage startup. Turns out there are dozens. GrantCompass broke it down so I could see exactly what I needed, and I went from bookmarked tabs I was afraid to touch to actually having applications in progress."

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about finding Canadian grants.

Is GrantCompass free to use?

Yes! GrantCompass is free to browse, search, and filter all 224 Canadian funding programs. You can use the matching quiz, save grants, and access all program details without paying anything. For deeper insights, our Premium plan ($29/mo) lets you sort by approval likelihood, see what programs actually pay, get insider tips, compare programs side by side, and track required documents for every program. We also offer optional grant writing templates for entrepreneurs who want structured help with applications.

How current is the grant data?

Our database is updated weekly. We monitor official government sources across all federal, provincial, and municipal programs to ensure deadlines, funding amounts, and eligibility criteria are accurate. Every grant listing links directly to the official program page so you can verify details before applying.

What types of funding are listed?

We primarily list non-repayable grants — funding you don't have to pay back. We also include tax credits (like SR&ED), awards, accelerator programs, and select forgivable loans. Grants are always prioritized first in search results so you see the best opportunities immediately.

Do you help write grant applications?

We provide grant writing templates and a comprehensive grant writing guide to help you craft strong applications. While we don't write applications for you, our resources walk you through the process step-by-step — from assessing eligibility to structuring your proposal and submitting on time.

Which provinces and territories are covered?

All 13. We cover Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Nunavut. We also list all federal programs available to businesses nationwide, plus select municipal programs in major cities.

How does the matching quiz work?

The quiz asks 3 simple questions: your business stage (idea, startup, or established), your industry, and your province. Based on your answers, we filter our database of 224+ programs to show only the grants you're most likely to qualify for. It takes about 60 seconds and no account is required.

What's included in Premium?

Premium lets you know what programs actually pay (not just maximums), sort by approval likelihood with ease and difficulty scores, see why applications get rejected, get insider tips per program, compare your top picks side by side, track required documents with interactive checklists, and find which programs combine for more total funding. That's 17 intelligence fields per program plus comparison and tracking tools. Explore all 224 programs on our Explore page, or see the full comparison at Pricing.
