Business funding organization FAQs

Learn which organizations appear in the index, what their program counts mean and how to search them.

What is a business funding organization?

A business funding organization is a government department, agency, Crown corporation, municipality, non-profit or other delivery partner that designs, administers or delivers financial support for businesses.

Which organizations appear in this index?

An organization appears when helloDarwin has at least one open, closing-soon, opening-soon or otherwise current program associated with it. Organizations with no current program record are excluded from this index.

What does the current program count mean?

The count is the number of current program records associated with that organization in the helloDarwin index. It is not the organization's lifetime total of programs.

How can I find a funding organization?

Search by the organization's full name or acronym, or browse by funding role. The index groups organizations such as federal, provincial and municipal governments, Crown corporations, universities, research institutes, foundations and non-profits.

Should I search by program or by organization?

Use the program index when you are starting with a funding need or support type. Use the organization index when you know the funder or want to review the current programs it delivers and its available official-source links.
