Thought bootstrapping in Toronto meant no outside money, then a $15k grant proved me wrong

I always figured taking any government cash would slow us down with paperwork, but a 15k grant from a program in Toronto let us hire a part timer and we shipped 3 weeks faster, so now I'm wondering if anyone else here has taken small grants and what it actually cost them in time?
