Find project funding for charities, non-profits, and community organizations
Non-profits, charities, and community organizations in Canada can access funding for projects tied to services, equipment, digital modernization, program delivery, culture, health, environment, and local development. This 2026 guide helps organizations understand where non-profit funding usually comes from, which legal structures fit which programs, and what funders expect when a project is submitted for support.
Whether you are launching a new initiative, scaling an existing program, or investing in tools and infrastructure that strengthen your mission, the most useful approach is to match the project to the right funder and reporting model. Use this page to compare current grant paths, clarify eligibility, and reduce the risk of spending time on programs that do not fit your organization or your funding need.
