Forestry Grant in Canada

Grants for Canadian Forestry Companies

Canada’s forestry industry is transforming as businesses invest in innovation, clean technology, and sustainable growth. Across the country, companies can access a broad network of funding programs—from federal initiatives like Investments in Forest Industry Transformation (IFIT), Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC), and Green Construction Through Wood (GCWood), to provincial programs that target modernization and emissions reduction. These grants help sawmills, engineered wood producers, and biomass energy developers upgrade equipment, improve efficiency, and develop new products for global markets. Combined with growing support for Indigenous-led forestry projects, this wave of funding is helping Canada’s forest sector remain competitive, reduce carbon impacts, and drive the shift toward a cleaner, circular economy.
