Find the funding programs that fit, with every deadline kept in view. ## At a glance - **You tell it:** Where you operate, what you do, your size and what you want to fund - **What it searches:** Government grants, loans, tax incentives and support programs - **The screen:** Each program's published criteria checked against your business, with the fit explained - **Sources:** Every program, rule and date links to its official source - **Applications:** An evidence list and draft answers your team edits and finishes - **What it never does:** Promise funding: eligibility and awards are always the program's decision ## What the Grant & Funding Finder does - **Searches funding programs:** It looks across government grants, loans, tax incentives and support programs at the levels that apply to you. - **Screens for fit:** It checks each program's published criteria against what you have told it about your business and explains the fit. - **Cites the source:** Every program, rule and deadline comes with a link to the official source. - **Lists the evidence needed:** For each program you pursue, a list of the documents and facts the application asks for. - **Drafts application answers:** First drafts of the written answers, from your own information, for your team to edit and finish. - **Tracks deadlines:** Dates for every program you are pursuing, with reminders as they get close. ## How the Grant & Funding Finder differs from searching program websites yourself Searching program websites yourself takes hours and still leaves you unsure what fits or when it closes. The Grant & Funding Finder screens grants, loans and programs against your business, explains the fit with the official source and marks anything unclear. For each program you pursue, it lists the evidence needed, drafts the written answers and tracks the dates. It never promises funding, and your team submits. How this differs from the SR&ED Tax Credit Expert (https://myzone.ai/pages/agents/ai-sred-tax-credit-agent): To claim the Canadian SR&ED tax credit for your research work, use the SR&ED Tax Credit Expert; the Grant & Funding Finder searches across grants, loans and programs of every kind. ## How it works 1. **Tell it about your business** (At the start): Where you operate, what you do, your size and what you want to fund. 2. **Get a shortlist** (Once your profile is in): It returns programs that may fit, each with the reason and the official source. 3. **Choose what to pursue** (you approve) (After the shortlist): You decide which programs are worth applying for. 4. **Prepare the application** (Once you pick a program): It lists the evidence needed and drafts the written answers for your team. 5. **Finish and submit** (Before the deadline): Your team completes, checks and submits the application before the deadline. ## When to use it - **You are planning to hire or train staff:** It looks for programs that support hiring and training where you operate. - **You are investing in new equipment or technology:** It finds grants, loans and incentives that may help fund it. - **A program deadline is next month:** The evidence list and draft answers help your team finish on time. - **You are not sure a program fits:** The screen shows which criteria you meet and which are unclear. - **You want to keep an eye on new programs:** It checks for new and reopened programs that fit your business. ## What you get - A shortlist of programs that may fit, with reasons and sources - An evidence list for each program you pursue - Draft answers to application questions - A deadline tracker with reminders ## Example: funding match report and application plan Example with a fictional company. Names, people and figures are invented to show the agent's output. Any resemblance to a real company or person is unintended. What it was asked: We want to add a canning line and start selling in two neighbouring provinces next year. What funding could we qualify for, when are the deadlines, and can you start the applications? This is an illustrative example of the funding match report Grant & Funding Finder is being built to produce: program matches, an eligibility check, a deadline tracker and draft application answers. It was written by hand from the agent's design for an invented cidery, with invented programs labelled A to H, deadlines and figures. No real programs, systems or people were involved, and nothing was submitted or sent. Run date: 15 October 2026. ### What it found - Of 23 programs screened, five are worth applying to: three strong fits and two possible fits, with $108,100 in grants and a $120,000 loan requested in the drafts. - The canning line looks eligible for Program A on five of seven criteria, with two likely; the intent form is due Fri 23 Oct and the full application Fri 6 Nov. - Draft answers are ready for the owner to finish, with one key warning: hold the equipment order until the program approves, or the costs may not count. ## Guardrails - Your Ai1 team will tell you when the Grant & Funding Finder is ready for your account. - It never promises funding. Eligibility and awards are always the program's decision. - Every program, rule and date links to its official source, and anything unclear is marked as unclear. - Your team reviews, completes and submits every application. - It never invents facts about your business to fit a program. ## Frequently asked questions ### How do I know if my business is eligible for a grant? Read the program's own criteria line by line and match each one to evidence you hold. The Grant & Funding Finder does that first pass and lists what is missing, but only the program decides who qualifies. ### How can a small business keep track of grant and funding deadlines? Keep every program you are pursuing in one tracker with its official dates, and set reminders well before each one closes. The Grant & Funding Finder tracks those dates, links each one to its source and reminds you as they get close, so your team has time to complete, check and submit. ### How does a small business grant finder help? It looks at the programs offered where you operate and matches their criteria to your plans. The Grant & Funding Finder searches grants, loans and programs for you, explains why you may qualify and links each one to its official source. ### Can it promise we will get funding? No. It finds programs and helps you prepare, but whether you qualify and receive funding is always the program's decision. ### Does it write the whole application? It drafts the written answers and lists the evidence needed. Your team edits, completes and submits. ### How is it different from the SR&ED Tax Credit Expert? The SR&ED Tax Credit Expert focuses on one Canadian tax credit for research work. The Grant & Funding Finder looks across grants, loans and programs of every kind. ### Is the Grant & Funding Finder available now? Not yet.
