Digital Museums Canada provides museums and heritage organizations, including Indigenous cultural centres, with funding and support to create incredible online projects for their current and future audiences.
The 2022 Call for proposals is now open! Does your organization have a compelling story that could be told using a digital platform? Do you need funding?
In this video, Leah Resnick, Director of Digital Museums Canada (DMC), launches the 2022 Call for proposals and showcases some of the engaging projects that have been funded by DMC.
To date, DMC has invested more than $15 million into more than 200 digital projects.
Museums and heritage organizations can access one of three investment streams:
Small investment: $15,000
Medium investment: $50,000 to $150,000
Large investment: $150,000 to $250,000
You have until December 1, 2022 to submit your proposal.

Along with funding, DMC offers expert guidance in digital accessibility, user experience and inclusive design. We have useful resources on our website, with more to come. You can also see inspiring examples of projects we have funded, including an award-winning project developed by La Boîte Rouge VIF. Using 360 video, Indigenous youth in Quebec talk naturally and sincerely about what their lives are like, and show you places that are important to them.
If you have questions about the application process, please contact us via info@digitalmuseums.ca.
DMC is also looking at new ways to share knowledge and build resources on best practices and accessibility within the community. To learn more about these new initiatives as they are developed, keep an eye on the website and subscribe to the DMC mailing list.
Managed by the Canadian Museum of History, Digital Museums Canada is a federally funded investment program that invests in online projects by Canadian museums and heritage organizations, helping them build digital capacity and share stories and experiences with people everywhere.
