Support for Booksellers —  Canada Book Fund

Support for Booksellers (SFB) was a 2-year program component of the Canada Book Fund (CBF) that provided support in 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 to help Canadian booksellers increase their online sales for Canadian-authored books and improve their business model for online sales.

Booksellers Initiative — Support for Organizations

Eligible industry organizations could have also applied for funding for collective projects aimed at supporting and strengthening online sales of Canadian books through a special call under the Support for Organizations component of the program.

Applications are no longer being accepted for the Booksellers Initiative — Support for Organizations. Program guidelines remain available. To learn more, see the Booksellers Initiative — Support for Organizations component of the CBF.
