We believe every Canadian organization deserves a clear path to funding. The Funding Compass was born from a simple truth: securing funding should not be a mystery.
The Funding Compass started with a conversation between founders who had spent years helping organizations navigate the complex world of grants, subsidies, and funding programs.
Time and again, we saw the same pattern: talented teams with great ideas struggling not because of their work, but because finding and applying for funding felt overwhelming. Small organizations missed opportunities simply because they did not know where to look. Larger organizations wasted resources chasing the wrong programs.
We knew there had to be a better way. What if finding the right funding was as simple as answering a few questions? What if you could instantly see which programs matched your unique situation?
That is why we built The Funding Compass to turn complexity into clarity, and possibility into action.
To empower every Canadian organization with the insights and readiness they need to secure funding and achieve their goals.

Whether you are seeking grants, subsidies, tax credits, or other funding programs, our platform helps you discover opportunities that match your unique profile.
Our assessment evaluates your organization across key dimensions like team capacity, funding knowledge, governance readiness, and financial preparedness. You will receive a personalized readiness score along with a clear snapshot of your strengths and areas for improvement, plus actionable next steps to increase your chances of success.
We cover a wide range of Canadian funding programs including federal and provincial grants, innovation subsidies, research funding, tax credits (like SR&ED), community development programs, and sector-specific opportunities.

Unlike generic grant databases, The Funding Compass combines intelligent matching with readiness assessment. We do not just show you funding opportunities - we help you understand if you are ready to pursue them and what to do next. Our approach is personalized, practical, and built specifically for the Canadian funding landscape.
While we do not write applications for you, we provide guidance on what funders are looking for and help you assess your readiness before you apply. Our platform identifies gaps in your capacity or documentation so you can strengthen your application before submission. For hands-on support, we can connect you with trusted partners.
Our team continuously monitors federal, provincial, and municipal funding programs. We update our database regularly to ensure you have access to the latest opportunities and deadlines. When new programs launch or requirements change, we reflect those updates as quickly as possible.
