Financing for the Canada Media Fund
Purpose
- Launched in 2010, the Canada Media Fund (CMF) is a public-private partnership that fosters, promotes, develops and finances the production of Canadian television programs, interactive content and cutting-edge software applications for various platforms.
Outcome
- This additional funding of $23.5 million (in addition to the $134.1 million in recurring funding provided by the Department to the CMF) will provide a stable source of funds for the CMF and allow it to continue its investment of a minimum of $350 million per year in the creation of Canadian content. This funding directly offsets the decrease in contributions to the CMF from cable, satellite and Internet Protocol television distributors (BDU) as a result of lower subscription revenues due to the migration of consumers to online platforms.
- This additional investment reflects the Government of Canada’s commitment to ensuring the success of our creative industries in the digital age.
- In 2018–2019, the CMF contributed $298 million to 493 television programs and digital content and $42.5 million to 116 experimental projects, including games, applications and Web series. This investment translated into over $1.4 billion in production activities in Canada’s creative economy. Each dollar spent generates an average of $3 in investment.
Status
- In Budget 2018, the Government committed to increase the federal contribution to the CMF by up to an additional $172 million over five years and $42.5 million recurring annually thereafter. This increase will be used to maintain funding for CMF programs at the 2016-2017 level of $350 million per year.
- Each year, the exact supplementary funding is calculated based on the difference between the reference year and the BDU payments made to the CMF in the previous year (i.e., $216.5 million [2016–2017 reference year] – $193 million [2018–2019 BDU fees] = $23.5 million additional in 2019–2020.
Financing for the Rideau Hall Foundation
Purpose
- The Rideau Hall Foundation (the Foundation), established in 2012, is a Canadian not-for-profit organization that seeks to build a knowledgeable and caring nation; promote innovative ideas and visions for the future; inspire Canadians to implement solutions to our country’s challenges; build relationships, collaborate and turn ideas into reality; and build a shared future.
- In 2017–2018, the Government has set aside $10 million in the fiscal framework for a bequest to the Foundation for the period 2018–2019 to 2027–2028. In 2017–2018, an initial payment of $3 million was made to the Foundation. Additional matching funds of up to a maximum of $7 million were available between 2018–2019 and 2027–2028. The Youth Take Charge (YTC) Program administers the Grant Agreement signed with the Foundation and issues annual payments.
Outcome
- The Foundation supports initiatives that strengthen our identity, enhance the work of the Office of the Governor General and help build a stronger Canada.
Status
- $2,079,971 was paid to the Foundation in matching funds in 2018–2019.
- $4,920,029 will be paid to the Foundation to match funds raised in 2019–2020.
- As the foundation has reached the maximum available matching funds of $7 million, the grant agreement ends in 2019–2020 and no further funding will be disbursed.
Financing for the Youth Take Charge Program
Purpose
- With an annual budget of $1.45 million, the Youth Take Charge Program (YTC) provides funding to eligible organizations to support youth-led projects. These projects are aimed at young people, generally between the ages of 7 and 30, who demonstrate an ability to strengthen a sense of belonging to Canada while addressing one or more of the following four themes: arts and culture; civic participation and youth service; history and heritage; and economic activities.
Outcome
- The YTC Program has secured additional funding of $700,000 for 2019–2020 (and $2.5 million for 2020–2021) to meet the high demand for the Program originating from organizations working with youth. This will expand the reach of this program to more youth across Canada.
Status
- The $700,000 provided in 2019–2020 will be used to increase funding for meritorious projects submitted in the 2018 call for proposals to reach more youth from diverse backgrounds.
Financing for the Michaëlle Jean Foundation
Purpose
- Created in 2010, the Michaëlle Jean Foundation is a non-profit Canadian independent organization that encourages communities to use arts and creativity to stimulate and promote participation and dialogue among Canadians, and particularly Canadian youth.
- In 2010–2011, the Government set aside $10 million in the fiscal framework for a bequest to the Foundation for the period 2010–2011 to 2019–2020. In 2010–2011, $3 million was initially provided in grants to the Foundation. Additional matching funds could reach a maximum of $7 million between 2011–2012 and 2019–2020. The Youth Take Charge (YTC) Program administers the Grant Agreement signed with the Foundation and issues annual payments.
Outcome
- Through its programs, the Foundation empowers young people to use the arts to find new solutions to the issues they face, such as extremism, the over-representation of minority youth in prisons, delinquency, violence and suicide.
Status
- $497,052 will be paid to the Foundation to match funds raised in 2019–2020.
- Since 2019–2020 was the last year in which the Foundation could obtain matching funds, the grant agreement ends in 2019–2020 and no further funding will be disbursed.
