Partnership and Collaboration Funding Programs in Canada in 2026

Partnership and collaboration funding helps businesses, non-profits, research institutions, communities, and public organizations deliver a shared project. The programs below focus on opportunities where partners, joint governance, or pooled expertise and resources are central to the work.

These opportunities are not limited to cash grants. Some provide repayable or non-repayable contributions, expert advice, access to facilities, network support, or help forming a consortium. Compare the expected partner roles before preparing an application.
