North America Funding Program
We help turn your plans into projects by simplifying a complex and competitive process.
In its simplest form, the North America Funding Program (NAFP) is a matchmaking program. It starts with connecting our funding specialists to our account managers who have clients with funding needs.
Through the program, our funding specialists help our clients in three areas: research and strategy, application preparation, and grant administration.
Stantec is one of the first substantial design firms to offer funding support as part of its services, and we work with both new and existing clients to help them reach their goals.
From securing low-interest loans to facilitating government grants, the NAFP has saved clients millions of dollars and become a trusted partner in community development and transformational projects.
