2022 – 1st Quarter Government Funding Deadlines

During any given year, there are certain “hot times” to apply for government funding for a small business. These times vary but often include the start of the year (January), end of each quarter and the end of the year (December).

The “hot times” represent when your small business has the best chances of obtaining government funding from these agencies. Be it a government grant, government loan, a tax break or credit, the government funding age4ncies often funnel more money during these times.

The start of the year, everyone wants to start a business. It’s the thing to do – new year resolutions and all; so in return, the Canadian government funds many small business owners in order to help with the process.

The same situation applies for the end of the year – everyone wants to get the money and the funding agencies do need to close the programs off for the year, to make budgets for the following year – this makes it a crucial time to apply for funding.

The quarter end; be it the first, second, third or the fourth quarter is the time to take action.

1st Quarter Government Funding Deadlines

As the end of the first quarter approaches, the end of March signifies big things for small business owners across Canada – or at least it should if you are seeking funding for your small business.

The Canadian government has approximately 1,500 different funding programs across various funding agencies and levels of the Canadian government.

These programs can also be found in the Funding Database.

With the end of the first quarter, a large percentage of these programs are closing, due to their funding deadlines. This means, they are taking in the last and final applications before they make the funding decisions on who to fund and how much.

All of the funding has to be disbursed by the end of the quarter in order to make room for new goverment grants, government loans and funding options for the 2nd quarter and the rest of the year.

This makes it the best time to apply for government funding.
