About this program

CASPP funds projects that help Canadian agriculture adapt to emerging priorities. Worth reading the funding type before planning around it: AAFC states support comes as BOTH repayable and non-repayable contributions, so part of an award may have to be paid back. Applications are accepted continuously until the program ends 31 March 2029 or funding is fully committed, and all projects must finish by that date.

Who is eligible

AAFC contributes up to 50% of eligible costs, rising to up to 75% for high priority projects and above 75% in exceptional cases. The applicant's share must be cash: in-kind contributions are not eligible.
