Apply for Funding - Criteria and Eligibility

Eligible applicants must be Canadian legal entities, capable of entering into a contract to deliver a project. This may include: organizations and associations, cooperatives, marketing boards, aboriginal groups, for-profit companies and individuals.

Federal, provincial and territorial government departments or agencies, and colleges and universities are not eligible. However, if university or government researchers are the most qualified to carry out project activities, an industry group can contract the work to those respective researchers.

Note: The Canadian Agricultural Adaptation Program (CAAP) support to for-profit organizations and individuals will generally be provided as repayable contributions, unless public good can be demonstrated. In general, support for not-for-profits will be approved as non-repayable contributions.

All project activities must be completed by December 31, 2013, and final reports submitted no later than March 31, 2014.

Eligibility Criteria:

• Total combined funds from federal, provincial, territorial and municipal sources may not exceed eighty five percent (85%) of total project costs
• Not-for-profits must have at least 10% of industry cash of project’s cash costs; for-profits must have at least 25% of industry cash of project’s cash costs
• Capital expenditures will not exceed 25% of CAAP contribution
