Are applications for Ontario government grant programs free to file?

Ontario grant applications are free, as grants are free to apply for. Grant funding is not simply given away as free money, however. The programs each have their own eligibility terms and intended uses, so use these details to find a grant that you can use. Then apply by writing a proposal to the program itself. There are no set grant applications, but your proposal probably should include things like what you need to use the funding for, what your long term plans are, how you would benefit from the program, and more.
