Funding for Websites

The Atlantic CBDC offers too many programs to list. They cover both financial and non-financial support. Programs can be federal or provincial. There are programs for specific uses or they can be for specific types of entrepreneurs. Some programs fund website development.

Ulnooweg Development Group run several business funding programs for Indigenous entrepreneurs and communities in Atlantic Canada. The programs cover different funding ranges, from $5,000 micro lending to all the way up to $1.5 million. In some cases the funding is non-repayable. Website development and marketing expenses are eligible expenses.

Angel investors invest money in businesses in exchange for equity, usually at the early stage of a business's development. Sandpiper Ventures is a seed stage, angel backed fund focussed on women entrepreneurs. Their founders come from Canada's 4 Atlantic provinces. Sandpiper invests in scaleable, tech-enabled solutions with global potential.

This program  provides funding up to $50,000 for women and non-binary entrepreneurs. Websites and marketing for business and social enterprise are eligible expenses. The program covers different development phases and provides support services. In Newfoundland and Labrador NLOWE are delivering the program.

Thrive is a new $500 million investment platform supporting Canadian women entrepreneurs building Canadian tech companies. The platform provides venture capital as well as non-traditional early-stage funding. The BDC has many funds, I'm highlighting this one because it's very new and the largest of it's kind in the world.

CAP provides funding for the agriculture, agri-foods, and agri-products sector. Website development costs are eligible expenses. This funding is available to both business and NFPs. $400,000 is the maximum funding limit.
