The Canada Periodical Fund (CPF) provides financial assistance to Canadian print magazines, print community newspapers (non-daily) and digital periodicals, to enable them to overcome market disadvantages and continue to provide Canadian readers with the content they choose to read.
Aid to Publishers
The Aid to Publishers component is designed to provide eligible Canadian publishers of print magazines, print community newspapers (non-daily) and digital periodicals with the financial support they need to produce and distribute high-quality, Canadian editorial content for Canadian readers.
You can apply for funding through the Aid to Publishers’ three sub-components:
Magazine
For print magazines, funding is granted based on a formula that takes the total number of eligible copies distributed over a 12-month period as well as eligible editorial expenditures incurred during that period.
Digital Periodical
For digital periodicals, funding is granted based on eligible editorial expenditures incurred over a 12-month period.
Community Newspaper (non-daily) – Aid to Publishers
For print community newspapers, funding is granted based on a formula that takes the total number of eligible copies distributed over a 12-month period as well as eligible editorial expenditures incurred during that period.
Business Innovation
The Business Innovation component offers support for projects to eligible small and mid-sized print and digital magazines, and print and digital non-daily community newspapers.
You can apply for funding through the Business Innovation under one of the two sub-components:
Magazines
This Business Innovation component offers support for projects to eligible small and mid-sized print and digital magazine publishers.
Non-daily Community Newspapers
The Business Innovation component offers support for projects to eligible small and mid-sized print and digital non-daily community newspapers.
Collective Initiatives
