Community Futures Westman is often asked by clients about any potential grants that may be available for small business owners. Aside from an occasional one time microgrant program the funding from Community Futures Westman comes in the form of a repayable loan.

There are some grant programs available on the Federal, Provincial and Municipal levels.  Applicants should read through the criteria that they may need to meet when applying for grants since applying for a grant can be a time consuming process.

Below is a list of available grant programs. Community Futures Westman is not affiliated with any of those on the list. This is merely links for other programs. This is not an exhaustive list. Sometimes there are calls for proposals from all levels of government.

As a FINAL REMINDER remember if it truly is a grant you never should have to pay for it.
