Applications are no longer being accepted for Booksellers Initiative — Support for Organizations as 2023-2024 was the last year of this temporary component. Program guidelines remain available.

Budget 2021 announced an investment of $32.1 million over 2 years to help Canadian booksellers increase their online sales. This funding was delivered in 2022-2023 and 2023-2024.

The objective of this special call was to encourage the Canadian book industry to undertake collective projects that would contribute to building industry capacity, marketing and infrastructure for the online sale of Canadian books.
