Every public support program in Canada.
Federal, provincial and agency programs gathered in a single directory: what exists, who runs it, for which sector, in which province, and the link to the official form.
What the directory covers
The process, in four steps
A rejected application is rarely rejected on the merits of the project. It is rejected because it went to the wrong program, or arrived too late.
- 01 Place the business Province, sector, size, stage. Those four answers already rule out the great majority of programs and save reading hundreds of irrelevant pages.
- 02 Build a shortlist The diagnostic ranks programs by closeness to the profile. The score states similarity to the profile; it does not state eligibility, which only the administering body decides.
- 03 Verify at the source Every listing links to the program’s official page. Criteria, amounts and dates there are what count — and they change without notice.
- 04 Assemble the application Project plan, budget, financial statements, letters of support. If the business would rather not do it in-house, the directory lists providers specialised in grant applications.
What the platform does for you
Across the program title and body text, not only on labels.
Province, type of support, sector and level of government, combined freely.
A dedicated page per type of support and province, built for search.
Every program administrator has its own page, listing everything it runs.
French and English, with separate addresses indexed independently.
The data comes from a public Government of Canada dataset, and it says so.
8funder administers no program and is affiliated with no level of government. The platform lists, classifies and links to the official source: the administering body decides eligibility and amount.
