Budget 2019 Supplemental Funding in 2019-2020 and 2020-2021

As announced in the 2019 Federal Budget, the CAPF received an additional $16 million for 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 to support the delivery of more arts events across the country. This investment provided additional support for professional arts festivals, performing arts series presenters, and presenter support organizations, as well as new arts presenters in under-served regions. This additional funding enabled more Canadians to see, hear and celebrate the talents of Canadian artists and have access to artistic experiences that reflect Canada’s diversity. It also helped promote the talents of Canadian artists in more communities across the country.

New Applicants in 2020-2021

Eligible organizations not currently receiving support from the CAPF in 2020-2021 can submit an application to the Development component at any time for their activities that will take place before March 31, 2021.

Please contact the Canadian Heritage regional office closest to you for more information on this funding opportunity.
