What Is The Local Digital Adoption Program?
Did you miss out applying for the Canadian government’s Digital Adoption Program (CDAP) that ended on September 30, 2024. Or maybe your business didn’t qualify, or you didn’t even make it through the complicated application process?
We’ve got you covered! Local Propeller is excited to introduce a brand new program to continue helping Canadian businesses succeed online through digital marketing.
With the Local Digital Adoption Program (LDAP) businesses can receive up to $5,000 to put towards the adoption of a wide range of digital marketing strategies, including online advertising (PPC & social media), web design and search engine optimization (SEO).
Applications for the LDAP program will be accepted until December 31, 2024. Grant funds are limited and will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
What Are The Differences Between CDAP and LDAP Funding?
There are significant differences between CDAP and LDAP funding, both on what services it applies to, and what businesses are able to apply. LDAP can be used on a much wider range of services and is available to far more Canadian businesses. Please see the chart below for more details.

| Can only be applied to implementing eCommerce services | Can be applied to a wide range of digital marketing services |
| Funding limited to $2,500 | Funding up to $5,000 |
| Applications close September 30, 2024 | Applications close December 31, 2024 |

This Sounds Too Good To Be True!?!
It’s good to be skeptical, especially with online offers that sound too good to be true (because they often are). But this offer is 100% legit. With the end of the CDAP program Local Propeller wanted to keep assisting Canadian businesses grow through digital marketing with a funding model that is much more inclusive and simpler to qualify for.
