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.
