Spring Grant Season - No Room for Average Anymore

March to June brings provincial, federal, and corporate funding deadlines. SEDA is in the midst of updating our Funding Programs database so make sure you check back again the week of April 5th.

It is essential for applicants to keep in mind the following;

Saskatchewan has the highest number of communities per capita in Canada. Federal funding is typically pro-rated to the level of the provincial population. As such, individual communities are competing for a very limited amount of dollars.
If the grant or program is addressing a specific issue, for example, mobility impairment or the impact of covid, your application should actually be a "business case" for how you are addressing that issue. Innovate and collaborate with others in your trading area. Funding program adjudication is stiff and expectations are high.
