The problem
More than 3,500 government assistance programs, offered by more than 800 federal, provincial, territorial and municipal bodies: nobody has time to read them all. Each program has its own criteria, eligible expenses and deadlines, and useful funding often goes unnoticed.
You answer
One question at a time about the business and the project: legal structure, sector, region, stage, needs. You can go back and change an answer at any time.
A rules-based filter
Programs outside your province, or reserved for others, are set aside first.
The AI reads every program
It compares your profile with the criteria of each program: eligibility, eligible expenses, amounts, region. It gives a reasoned assessment: seems eligible, likely, uncertain or not eligible, with its confidence.
You get your list
The programs you seem eligible for, the reason for each assessment, what is left to check and the official link to apply.
Subvention.app assessments are for information only: the body that runs the program always decides eligibility.
