FedDev Ontario now accepting funding applications

The Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev) is now accepting applications to access funding in 2009-2010.

Applications will be accepted until December 1, 2009.

According to the organization, it will give special favour to projects that can be started quickly and completed by March 31, 2010.

“An organization or business can submit more than one project for funding consideration, however multiple projects cannot be submitted under one application,” FedDev said. “Each project must be supported by a separate and fully completed application form to be considered. If an applicant submits more than one project, they must be ranked by the applicant in order of priority for funding consideration.”

Applicants are required to complete an application form, along with supporting documents, outlining how the project meets the program criteria outlined.

Applicants applying for support for strategic plans or studies are required to submit a Business Case. For all other types of projects, FedDev said, applicants must submit a Business Plan.

An application form is available at this link; a Business Case Outline is available here, and a Business Plan Outline available here.
