“Dave suggested several tips…and we won!”

“5Blue Process Equipment Inc. provides the oil and gas processing industry with high quality, custom engineered products worldwide. Our first attempt at an export grant by ourselves didn’t work, so we had one of our staff attend David’s grant writing seminar. David reviewed our paperwork and suggested several tips. When we resubmitted our application, we won. We definitely got value out of his grant writing seminar and recommend it to anyone applying for grants.”

“Took his seminar and was successful!”

“Just wanted to let you know that we ended up getting $10,000 from that grant after all so was great. Thanks for all your help.”

Meet Dave — the guy who’s won over $5 million in grants, in some of the most competitive grant categories

DAVID KINCADE
founder of Alberta
Business Grants

Hi, I’m David Kincade, founder of Alberta Business Grants.

You’re probably here because you’re frustrated with the grant process — from finding grants that are right for you to filling out the application on time.

But I’m here to tell you that grant writing doesn’t have to be a time-consuming, complex process that ends with you losing

out on money (and pulling out your hair, as a result).

When you download The Ultimate Guide to Winning Government Grants, you’ll dramatically increase your grant knowledge. The intention of the book is to be “the first step” in your grant journey, but as the tips grew more and more (became 100), it really has insight I’ve gained over 15 years in grants at ALL STAGES of the grant process. When you are done reading this guide, you will have a clear “Yes” or “No” to continue with grants.

The goal is to save you countless hours.

You’ll get access to my best tips, a grant writing expert with a background in politics and public relations, which will give you the competitive advantage you need to win the most coveted grants.

“Willingness to share your knowledge”

RON BOKENFOHR
Alberta Producer

“Hi David, You continue to amaze me with the amount of work you do and your willingness to share your knowledge. From personal experience the Agricultural grants are a minefield. It is a ton of work to complete these grants and super frustrating to find out much later that you were not successful.

Keep up the good work!”

Q. I’m a female entrepreneur. Will this book help me with female grants?

Q. I’m in the USA. Will this book help me?

A. While I tried to incorporate USA examples, my experience is mostly in Canada. Many of the rules will be applicable in the USA, but you need to know up front that the book was written from a Canadian perspective. Having said that, a grant is a grant.
