NL Regional Development Fund

NL Department of Industry, Energy and Technology · Provincial

In plain language

Non-repayable contribution for non-profit economic-development initiatives — industry associations, municipalities, public education institutions, co-ops, regional development organizations. Two components: Regional Development Program (infrastructure, capacity building, marketing, research themes) and Community Capacity Building (up to $5K/year regional, $10K/year provincial orgs). Strictly nonprofit — private for-profit businesses cannot apply directly but can benefit as project beneficiaries. Realistic project awards in the Regional Development Program stream sit $15K–$60K. Good fit for co-ops and rural regional associations; weak fit for Northeast Avalon single-business projects.
