The federal program that funds First Nations to take economic opportunities from idea to launch. Feasibility, business planning, and project development costs.
CORP supports community-owned economic development at the stage where most projects stall, before they are bankable. Strong applications show community support, a credible opportunity, and a clear path from study to enterprise.
On our files. We prepared CORP applications across multiple project phases for a First Nation's commercial agriculture enterprise, including engineering design scopes for both the facility and the building.
Is the opportunity real, sized, and CORP-eligible? We pressure-test it before any application work begins.
We sequence feasibility, business planning, and design so each CORP phase builds on the last.
Band Council Resolution, documented support, and the community priorities reviewers want to see.
Often yes, within stacking limits. Sequencing matters, and we structure applications so programs reinforce rather than conflict with each other.
It varies by region and intake volume. We prepare complete files so regional officers can move them forward without rounds of back-and-forth.
The Community Opportunity Readiness Program funds First Nation and Inuit communities pursuing community-owned economic development. Amounts scale to the project and the readiness stage, from early planning through pre-construction. We assess eligibility and right-size the ask before you apply.
