What is a Funders Forum?
The Funders Forum is an in-person event designed to help businesses and non-profit organizations learn about funding programs and support options available provincially, federally and locally.
During the event, participating funders will each provide a brief 5–10 minute overview of their programs. Following these presentations, attendees will have open time to visit funders at their tables, ask questions, and make direct connections.
As a result, participants leave better informed and more confident about their next steps, with a clearer understanding of their options and how to move forward.

This event is ideal for:
- Small and medium business owners and entrepreneurs
- Non-profit organizations
- Anyone interested in learning more about funding programs and business supports
Whether you are just starting out or planning your next phase of growth, the Funders Forum offers valuable insights and connections.

By attending the Funders Forum, you will:
- Learn about funding programs directly from funding organizations
- Ask questions in a relaxed, informal setting
- Build connections that can support future funding applications and planning
Moreover, having direct conversations with funders can help you save time and focus your efforts more effectively.
