Know every funder before you apply

Telefilm, CMF, Canada Council, SODEC, Ontario Creates, Creative BC — Junior matches your project to the right program at the right stage. It explains exactly why you qualify, and flags why you might not, before you commit a week to the wrong application.

Reapplications without the version chaos

Got rejected last round? Programs change. Criteria shift. Junior helps you understand what's different this cycle, what needs to be updated in your supporting materials, and how to reframe your project for a stronger second attempt — without rebuilding from zero.

Join the Free Beta

Every deadline. Every round. Tracked.

Junior knows when every program opens, closes, and what changed between cycles. No more finding out about a Telefilm round three days before it closes. No more missing a Canada Council deadline because you didn't know it existed. Junior automatically syncs every relevant deadline to your calendar across your entire slate.
