GrantMatch is a leader in grant funding in North America, primarily working with organizations in Canada and the United States. However, many of GrantMatch’s clients are multi-national firms, and we support their government funding efforts associated with facilities across the globe.

The grant funding landscape in North America is constantly evolving. Organizations planning projects that closely align with funding agencies’ strategic priorities are most likely to receive funding. Some of the key factors which influence funding decisions include:

· How a project will contribute to the development of a sector

· How much that sector impacts Canada's overall economy

· Where a project will take place geographically

· How well a project aligns with government objectives

GrantMatch has a proven track record of success securing funding for clients across various high-value industries, such as:

Manufacturing

· GrantMatch has secured funding for all types of manufacturing-related projects, including facility upgrades, equipment purchases, job creation, training and skills development, and even new facility construction. The manufacturing sector is a strategic focus for government funding opportunities due to its significant contributions to economic growth, job creation, and international competitiveness, as well as the sector’s alignment with federal, provincial, and municipal government priorities.

Food and Beverage Processing

· The food and beverage processing industry, the country's largest manufacturing industry, has grown consistently and contributes greatly to Canada’s balance of trade. Significant government funding opportunities exist to drive innovation, create jobs, and strengthen partnerships. GrantMatch has an extensive history working with food and beverage manufacturers, from major international food processors to breweries and wineries. We have helped our clients secure funding for a wide range of projects focused on enhancing supply chain efficiency, increasing productivity, purchasing more advanced equipment, accessing new markets, and improving food safety.
