Grants

Funding to Support Indigenous Businesses

NADF offers grant funding to help Indigenous entrepreneurs access the financial support they need to achieve their business goals. Grants help reduce barriers to growth, strengthen business operations, and support digital, start-up, and expansion activities.

Grants are non-repayable contributions, meaning you do not have to pay them back. NADF works with you to identify the right funding options and supports you through the application process.

Business Financing Program (BFP)

Funding to Support Your Business Goals

The Business Financing Program (BFP) provides grant contributions that can support a range of business activities, often alongside NADF financing. BFP support may include business planning, start-up or expansion costs, marketing, technology upgrades, and other business support needs that help your business grow.

This program is delivered with our partners and tailored to help Indigenous entrepreneurs access the resources they need to move forward

E-Commerce Grant Program

Funding to Help Indigenous Businesses Grow Online

The E-Commerce Grant Program supports Indigenous entrepreneurs who are building or strengthening their online sales presence. This funding helps offset the cost of digital tools, e-commerce platforms, training, and related marketing that help your business sell online and reach more customers.
