Yes. Through programs like the Business Financing Program (BFP), we offer non-repayable contributions (grants) to eligible Indigenous entrepreneurs and businesses.

Eligible activities may include business planning, marketing, equipment purchases, training, and more. Program guidelines apply.

If your business includes a non-Indigenous partner, grant eligibility is pro-rated based on the percentage of Indigenous ownership. To qualify for grants through NADF, the business must be at least 51% Indigenous-owned and controlled. Clear documentation of ownership and roles within the business will be required during the application process.

If you meet all program requirements and use the funds as approved, the grant does not need to be repaid.
