What does this mean?
Beginning in 2025, all programs will be applied for through Salesforce. We will no longer be using the FPOA or PDF application forms.
Does this impact any program intakes?
Grant Writing Support (GWS) and Economic Development Capacity Building (EDCB) intake deadlines are changing. The NEW intake will open early January. These programs will be applied for through Salesforce.
Internship Program deadlines are the same, however, both intern and host community applications will be applied for using PDF application forms for 2024 – not the FPOA.
Are any other programs impacted?
No. The remainder of our core and partner programs will maintain the same intake schedule when Salesforce is launched. Check our Important Dates section for deadlines.
Can I save applications that were submitted through the FPOA?
The deadline to save applications/draft applications has passed. Please contact us if you have any concerns.
Will there be instructions on how to use Salesforce?
We will be scheduling two Zoom information sessions on how to use the new system later in January/February.
Please continue to check our FAQ page and our social channels for dates and registration.
