Rural Ontario Development Fund - for rural businesses, service groups and non-profits

July 17, 2025

The Rural Ontario Development Program has funding streams available for small rural brick and mortar businesses, service groups and non-profit organizations.

For more information attend an upcoming webinar session on August 20 or September 10 or visit https://www.ontario.ca/.../rural-ontario-development-program .

The Rural Ontario Development (ROD) Program replaces the Rural Economic Development (RED) Program. We modernized and expanded the program to offer $20 million in funding over 2 years. This program supports the objectives of Enabling Opportunity: Ontario’s Rural Economic Development Strategy.

The ROD Program provides cost-share funding for projects that help rural communities:

address barriers and build capacity for economic development
to attract, retain and expand businesses
attract and retain investment and jobs
strengthen regional partnerships and economic resilience
address workforce development challenges
transform community assets to drive economic development
