Aboriginal Canadians is a term that encompasses members of First Nations tribes, Inuit, and Métis.

One of your resources for grant funding is foundation grants, so knowing a little about how they work and what gets funded can unlock a vast resource of grant money.

Learning a second language can be beneficial to you in a number of ways. There can be government grants to help you become bilingual or better, and knowing multiple languages can help you be better qualified for government grants or scholarships.

I get a lot of questions about government grant proposals, and I’ve reviewed a fair number of them.

We all go into business to be successful. We imagine that we’ll start humbly, then as word gets out about what a great product or service we have, then we’ll have lots of customer. Then, often with the help of government business grants, we’ll expand and maybe even franchise our wildly popular business.
