This week in Canadian grants: $10,000,000 open now, with deadline pressure building by Aug. 31

The biggest new listing is open-ended, while this week’s board is packed with late-August and early-September deadlines including $3,000,000, $2,000,000, and $500,000 opportunities.

The standout this week is $10,000,000 through Sectoral Workforce Innovation Fund — an open program with rolling intake for workforce initiatives tackling skilled labour shortages.

$10,000,000 — Sectoral Workforce Innovation Fund. Open on a rolling basis. Best suited to organizations planning large workforce initiatives tied to skilled labour shortages and industrial priorities.

$3,000,000 — Downtown Action Plan Fund. Deadline Aug. 31. A high-value option for organizations with downtown-focused projects in Edmonton, and one of the biggest fixed deadlines landing this week.

$2,000,000 — Kosher and Halal Investment Program. Deadline Sept. 1. A major near-term opportunity for organizations in food-related investment work, with one of the largest amounts on this week’s closing board.

$500,000 — Community Partnership Grant. Deadline Aug. 31. A substantial municipal opportunity in Thunder Bay for community-serving projects, worth moving up the pile this weekend.

$500,000 — CEDC Tourism Development Fund (TDF). Open on a rolling basis. A useful newly published option for tourism organizations in Thunder Bay that want funding without a fixed cutoff date.
