Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about finding Canadian grants.

Is GrantCompass free to use?

Yes. GrantCompass is 100% free to browse, search, and filter Canadian grants. You can use the matching quiz, save grants to your dashboard, and access all program details without paying anything. 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 195+ programs to show only the grants you're most likely to qualify for. It takes about 60 seconds and no account is required.
