Putting Canada First
One Business at a Time

Together We Are

Deedz is a Canada-first Business Support, not-for-profit initiative that supports startups, SMEs, and community-driven individuals building businesses headquartered in Canada, creating jobs for Canadians, and strengthening the national economy.

Important Notice
To keep our operational costs low and ensure fairness for everyone, Deedz does not provide phone or WhatsApp support. As a not-for-profit organization, our priority is directing resources toward Canadian businesses, not administrative overhead. For all inquiries, please contact us via email or through our website chat system.

What is Deedz?

Deedz was created to address a simple but critical reality:

If Canadians don’t support Canadian businesses first, who will?

We exist to empower businesses that:

  • Are started and headquartered in Canada

  • Contribute directly to the Canadian economy

  • Prioritize employment for Canadian citizens and permanent residents

  • Commit to growing within Canada before expanding internationally

Deedz is not just about funding, it’s about building sustainable Canadian businesses that create real economic impact.

Canada-First Not-For-Profit

“When Canadians support Canadians, growth becomes more than success, it becomes shared responsibility. Canada grows strongest when opportunity begins at home.”

Our Canada-First Commitment

Our Pillars, not just guidelines. They are Requirements.

Together We Can

Headquartered in Canada

Only businesses based and operated in Canada are eligible.

Employment First

At least 70% of employees must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents.

National Growth Before Global Expansion

Businesses must demonstrate intent to scale within Canada before expanding internationally.

Transparency Isn’t Optional
It’s Our Foundation

Deedz operates with complete transparency:

  • We do not collect or pool grant funds

  • Sponsors fund approved businesses directly

  • Approved applicants are informed of the sponsor and approved amount

  • Clear reporting and compliance standards are enforced

This model protects applicants, sponsors, and the integrity of the process.

Why We Choose Anonymity

Deedz does not publicly disclose the identities of its founders, leadership, or review committee.

This decision exists to protect fairness,  not secrecy.

Anonymity allows us to:

  • Prevent bribery, favoritism, or external influence

  • Ensure applications are judged solely on merit

  • Maintain neutrality across industries and regions

  • Protect the integrity of our evaluation process

We want Deedz to be known for what it does, not who is behind it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Deedz

A few questions to help you understand more about us.

No. Deedz is a not-for-profit, Canada-first initiative, not a government grant program.

Funding facilitated through Deedz comes from private sponsors, organizations, and contributors who want to support Canadian businesses in a transparent and ethical way.

No. Submitting an application does not guarantee funding.

All applications are reviewed through a structured, anonymous process. Only applicants that meet Deedz’s Canada-first criteria and align with available sponsor interests are approved.

Applicants who are not approved may apply again in future funding rounds.

Deedz operates through membership-based support from sponsors and partners, as well as aligned contributions that help cover operational costs.

This ensures:

  • Grant funds are not diluted

  • Operational costs remain low

  • Maximum support reaches Canadian businesses

As a not-for-profit organization, Deedz prioritizes directing resources toward Canadian businesses rather than administrative overhead.

Due to high inquiry volumes and fairness considerations, all communication is handled via email or chat.

If an application is not approved:

  • You will be notified by email

  • You may be asked to make adjustments

  • You are welcome to apply again in a future funding round

A rejection does not mean your business lacks value — it means it may not yet align with current criteria or sponsor availability.

Deedz operates in two-month grant cycles.

Applications are reviewed within approximately 60 days of the submission deadline, and applicants are notified by email.
