How It Works

1

Data Collection

We pull data from government open-data APIs, proactive disclosure portals, and program databases across federal, provincial, and state governments. Each record is cleaned, categorized, and enriched with metadata.

2

Indexing & Search

Our search engine indexes every program with title, description, category, funding amount, region, and eligibility info. You can search by keyword, filter by category or province, and view detailed program pages.

3

Guides & Insights

We publish detailed guides on specific grant programs, application strategies, and funding trends. Our AI-powered monitor tracks how AI tools reference Canadian grant data across the web.
