Real Results from Real Founders

★★★★★
I went from staring at 50 government websites to having a clear plan — which programs to apply to, in what order, with most of the applications already drafted. What would have taken me weeks took about 10 minutes.

★★★★★
The roadmap showed me how to stack 3 programs together for nearly triple the funding. And the realistic amounts saved me from wasting time on a program that advertises $500K but actually awards $30K.

GrantCompass was the first time I could see behind the curtain. The approval 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.

FAQ

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 314 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, your industry, and your province. Based on your answers, we filter our database of 314 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 314 programs on our Explore page, or see the full comparison at Pricing.
