Cyber Security Cooperation Program 2025

As cyber threats continue to grow in scale and sophistication, organizations working on the front lines of digital safety are under increasing pressure to deliver real-world solutions. The Cyber Security Cooperation Program 2025 is designed to support initiatives that help protect Canadians, critical infrastructure, and essential services from cybercrime and emerging digital risks. Led by Public Safety Canada, this national program provides time-limited, non-repayable funding to strengthen Canada’s cyber resilience while encouraging collaboration and innovation across the sector.

The program is particularly relevant for nonprofit organizations involved in cyber security awareness, skills development, applied research, and initiatives that reduce online harm. Projects may focus on improving preparedness, enhancing cyber security capabilities, or supporting efforts that safeguard democratic institutions and economic activity. With funding support of up to roughly $300,000 per year, the program helps offset a significant portion of eligible project costs, making it easier for organizations to advance impactful initiatives that might otherwise be difficult to fund.

Funding is available on an ongoing basis as part of a multi-year federal investment extending toward the end of the decade, reflecting the long-term importance of cyber security to Canada’s public safety and economic competitiveness. For organizations exploring how their cyber-focused projects might align with federal priorities, reviewing the full program details through GrantHub can help clarify fit, timing, and next steps before applying.
