This is the monthly what's-open page: the real count, the deadlines that bite soonest, and the largest verified caps — all from a registry checked with official sources. Programs close when budgets run out, so the verified date on each record matters more than any list, including this one.

Most of the 82 open programs have no fixed deadline on record — those intakes simply close when budgets run out, which is its own kind of deadline.
The biggest open money, verified
- Ottawa Centretown Heritage Facade Program: 75% of costs up to $75,000 for heritage storefronts.

- Province by province, everything open is on the funding list — 13 provinces and territories, each program with its verified date.
How to use a month like this
- Deadline programs first: an application you start in July lands comfortably before an August 31 or September 1 close; one you start in September does not.
- No-deadline programs are not no-urgency programs — budget exhaustion closes intakes without notice.
- Approval before spending is the rule on most of these. Order your project around it.
- Check back monthly: this page is refreshed with the new count and the next round of deadlines.
BBN Labs checks which of the open programs fit your business — free, in about two minutes — and when a program fits, we do the funded work and help you manage the application and deadlines so you do not lose the money. Approval always rests with each program administrator, subject to program rules, available funding, and approval.
