Applications for National Funding - ACAAF is now accepting applications

ACAAF now has an open application process so there is no specific application deadline. Proponents are advised to submit applications as soon as possible once they are complete.

For projects to be considered national in scope, two criteria must be satisfied. Applicants must demonstrate that the project will:

1. involve the participation of, or is supported by groups or individuals representative of the targeted national sector; and
2. ultimately benefit the stakeholders of the targeted sector across Canada.

Funding Announced for 23 National Initiatives

The Government of Canada is providing $6.5 million for 23 national projects designed to take advantage of new opportunities for Canadian agriculture and agri-food, and help farmers better plan for the future by focusing on current and emerging issues.

Applications for Regional Funding

For projects which are regional in scope, please contact the Industry Council in your province/territory for guidance on their application process. Contact information for each Industry Council can be found on the Industry Council Contacts page.
