Recovery Fund for Heritage Organizations

Recovery Fund for Heritage Organizations

Application Deadline: August 2, 2022, 2 pm PDT (5 pm EDT)

On June 27, 2022, Canadian Heritage announced details of the new Canada Arts and Culture Recovery Program (CACRP) which continues the Department’s targeted support for organizations that are still facing significant financial challenges in the third year of the pandemic.

As part of the CARCP the Museums Assistance Program (MAP) is now accepting applications for assistance with ongoing operating costs through the Recovery Fund for Heritage Organizations. This assistance will help heritage organizations as they seek to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, helping to compensate for lost revenues due to public health restrictions and capacity limits that were put in place. Please review the Program Guidelines prior to submitting your application.

Non-profit organizations, indigenous organizations, official language minority community organizations, and municipal or university museums with heritage collections may be eligible to receive funding. Organizations can receive between $1,000 and $80,000 in emergency support.

Applying for funding

Applications for the 2022 Recovery Fund for Heritage Organizations will be accepted through the Canadian Heritage Funding Portal. In order to proceed with your application, you must have completed the Applicant Profile section, which includes uploading required documents. If you have previously created an Applicant Profile, do not create another. An Applicant Profile only needs to be created once and will be used for all future funding applications that are accepted through the Canadian Heritage Funding Portal. 
 
Clients who submit an application will receive an automatic acknowledgement message confirming receipt of their application. Remember to check your junk mail folder and contact if necessary.

While the deadline to apply for funding is August 2, 2022, applicants are encouraged to apply early as funds are limited.

The National Research Council’s Indigenous Languages Technology (ILT) project has a core mandate to develop language technology for Indigenous languages in Canada in collaboration with Indigenous stakeholders.

 The NRC ILT is soliciting proposals to fund projects related to language technology for Indigenous languages spoken in Canada. The funding may be applied to a broad range of projects. Some eligible examples are refining existing technologies for Indigenous languages in Canada, developing new ones, collecting data to support these technologies, and assisting communities in the development of language learning methodologies and assistive technologies.

 It is anticipated that most successful proposals will receive funding in the range $100,000 - $300,000, though proposals of exceptional merit requesting funding outside this range may be considered. The funding period is short: it begins one month after issuance of this request and ends on March 31, 2020.

 Applications must be received by April 31, 2019. 

Proposals will be evaluated by the NRC project team and the Indigenous Advisory Committee on the basis of the criteria described above. Decisions will be sent to applicants by May 20, 2019.
