Ontario funding opportunities updated
Ontario’s available funding opportunities page now includes the Critical Minerals Innovation Fund and the Preventing Auto Thefts Grant, and it no longer shows several previously listed opportunities such as the Community Museum Operating Grant, Heritage Organization Development Grant 2026-27, and Ontario Junior Exploration Program. The new Critical Minerals Innovation Fund shows a deadline of August 25, 2026 at 5 p.m. ET, offers up to $500,000 per project, covers 50% of eligible costs, and applies to Ontario projects led by private-sector businesses or collaborations in critical minerals research, development, and commercialization. The Preventing Auto Thefts Grant adds a new audience focused on police services, First Nations police services, and municipalities policed by the OPP.
