$3.5 billion in Canadian grants go unclaimed every year. We're fixing that.
GrantWise Canada was built on a simple frustration: the Canadian government has designed some of the world's most generous small business funding programs — and most entrepreneurs don't know they exist.
Grant consultants charge $5K–$15K per application. Most SMBs can't afford that.
The Canadian government offers over 194 grant programs worth billions annually. But the discovery process is fragmented across dozens of federal and provincial portals, and the application process is designed for large organizations with dedicated teams.
The result: only 18% of eligible Canadian SMBs ever apply for a grant they qualify for. The rest leave money on the table — money explicitly set aside by the government to fund their growth.
GrantWise brings the grant consultant experience to every Canadian entrepreneur — at a price that makes sense.
Our Values
We built GrantWise around a set of principles that guide every product decision, piece of content, and customer interaction.
Democratize Access
Large corporations have entire teams dedicated to grant applications. We give every Canadian entrepreneur — regardless of budget — the same advantage.
Trust Through Accuracy
Inaccurate grant information wastes your time and damages your credibility with program officers. We hold our data to a higher standard.
Canada's Economic Health
Every unclaimed grant is a missed opportunity for growth, jobs, and innovation in Canada. We take that personally.
Educate, Don't Just Automate
We believe entrepreneurs who understand the grant system make better decisions. Our content and tools build knowledge, not dependency.
How We Verify Grant Information
Inaccurate grant information is worse than no information at all. Here's exactly how we ensure the data in our platform is accurate and current.
Government Sources Only
Every grant in our database is sourced from official government portals: Canada.ca, ISED Canada, provincial government websites, and official program administrators. We do not list third-party or unverified programs.
Weekly Verification
Our team reviews all grant programs weekly. When programs close, change deadlines, or update eligibility requirements, we update our database within 48 hours.
No Paid Placement
Grant programs are never ranked by payment or sponsorship. Our matching algorithm is based purely on eligibility fit, funding amount, and application complexity.
Transparent AI
Our AI application writer generates first drafts based on your business profile and grant requirements. We clearly state that outputs are AI-generated starting points — not final submissions. Review and customize before submitting.
Grant access shouldn't depend on your budget.
We offer meaningful discounts and free access to organizations that need it most.
