Event Details

Develop a Funding Roadmap by aligning your business goals with government grants and accessing money to accelerate your growth.


How many times have you entertained the idea of applying to receive funding for your business, but didn't follow through because you were afraid of the process? 51% of Canadians say they are too afraid to try and apply for government funding. Why? Because they don't know how to apply or where to go. 


There is a known perception that there are SO many government grants out there for your business to take advantage of, but in reality, SO little time for you to commit to what the process may entail to actually access the funds needed to accelerate your growth. Let us demystify that for you! 


Writing your first grant application may seem intimidating. Should you hire a grant writer? Possibly - but it's not necessary. Did you know 60-80% of a grant application can be re-used? Grant funding is a supportive way to grow your business, when the funding aligns with your business goals. 


Sandbox Centre, in partnership with MENTORnetwork, invites you to join us for a three part online program where you will develop a Funding Roadmap by aligning your business goals with government grants and accessing money to accelerate your growth.
