About GrantMark

GrantMark is a Canadian government funding platform that matches companies to the grants, tax credits and wage subsidies they qualify for.

Statement 01

How the eligibility assessment works

The GrantMark eligibility check asks thirteen questions about a company: its legal structure, province of operation, sector, size, and the kind of work it does. GrantMark screens those answers against a maintained catalog of Canadian federal and provincial funding program rules. The check takes about two minutes.

Nothing is generated. Every answer meets written program criteria, so the same answers always produce the same result, and every program that comes back traces to the rule that let it through. GrantMark reports which programs a company appears to qualify for and how they stack, because government programs set stacking limits that cap total assistance for a single project.

Statement 02

What GrantMark covers

GrantMark serves incorporated businesses operating anywhere in Canada. GrantMark screens federal programs for companies in every province and territory, and its provincial coverage is deepest in Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia and Quebec. The federal programs screened include:

Statement 03

How the program catalog is maintained

The catalog records the stable facts about each program: which agency delivers it, who it is intended for, and the criteria that govern eligibility. It deliberately does not publish credit rates, funding caps or application deadlines. Those figures change with each budget cycle, and a stale number stated confidently is more damaging than no number at all. A company that plans around an out-of-date cap has been misled.

Statement 04

What GrantMark is not

GrantMark is not a government agency and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operating on behalf of the Canada Revenue Agency, the National Research Council of Canada, Global Affairs Canada, or any provincial ministry. GrantMark does not prepare or file claims, and does not decide eligibility. The administering agency makes every funding decision under its own published criteria. A GrantMark assessment shows which programs a company appears to qualify for. It is where an application starts, and nothing more.
