Frequently Asked Questions
What is a grant versus a benefit or tax credit?
A grant is usually non-repayable funding tied to eligibility and a specific purpose. Benefits pay ongoing support. Tax credits reduce taxes owed or pay a refund after you file.
Can I apply to multiple programs at once?
Yes, if rules allow. Your GovGuides™ advisor will flag stacking limits or duplication of funding.
How long does it take to hear back?
Anywhere from a few days to several weeks depending on the funder and volume. We provide the current estimate during your assessment.
Do I need perfect credit?
Most personal grants do not check credit. They focus on eligibility, need, and documentation.
Can you write my statements and forms?
Yes. We draft and format them, then you review and approve before submission.
Do you work across Canada and the USA?
Yes. We screen federal, provincial or state, municipal, and recognized non-profit programs.
