Yukon Regional Economic Development Fund

Communities and businesses across Yukon often face unique challenges when it comes to growing local economies, attracting investment, and creating sustainable employment. The Yukon Regional Economic Development Fund is designed to help address those challenges by supporting projects that strengthen regional economic activity and encourage long-term development across the territory. Rather than focusing on a single sector, the program takes a flexible approach that reflects the diverse needs of Yukon’s regions.

Delivered by the Government of Yukon, this fund provides non-repayable financial support for initiatives that contribute to economic growth at the community or regional level. Funding amounts vary depending on the scope and impact of each project, making it suitable for a wide range of initiatives—from business-led expansion efforts to collaborative projects that improve local capacity, infrastructure, or economic resilience. The program is open to organizations and businesses meeting certain requirements and is intended to support meaningful, results-driven activities rather than short-term operating costs.

Because applications are typically accepted on an ongoing basis, timing your project and understanding how it aligns with regional priorities is an important part of the process. For Yukon businesses or organizations considering a project with broader economic benefits, learning more about how the Yukon Regional Economic Development Fund works can help determine whether this funding opportunity is the right fit.
