Importance: High


Good morning

 

I am very pleased to inform you that later this morning, we will be launching the application intake for the 2010-2011 Museums and Technology Fund (MTF). 

 

Notices will be sent via e-mail to provincial heritage organizations to request their assistance in sharing the information to their members. Attached please find a copy of the launch letter that will be sent to these organizations. Also attached for your information are copies of the 2010-2011 MTF program guidelines and application form. Program materials are also available in French on the website (www.ontario.ca/museumfund). 

 

The program remains the same as last year with a few improvements. J Based on feedback provided by staff and external reviewers who assisted with the roll-out and evaluation of last year's applications, we have made several key clarifications to the program materials: 

 

a)      A generic email account ([log in to unmask]) has been set-up to receive general inquiries and more importantly, electronic application submissions.

b)      Eligible and ineligible project costs have been further clarified to assist potential applicants in determining which costs can be supported by the Ministry.

c)      Application assessment process has been made public so that applicants know prior to submitting their application how it will be evaluated.

d)      Application deadline and acceptable methods for submitting an application have been clearly identified.

e)      A sample project evaluation strategy has been provided to assist applicants in preparing their applications. 

 

I would greatly appreciate your assistance in disseminating information about this year's program to your teams, and encouraging them to promote it to their clients. Regional Advisors should feel free to direct organizations wishing additional information or help in developing their projects to me for further assistance. I will endeavour to keep all of you updated on the inquiries that we receive for the program over the next several weeks, and will certainly look to my RSB colleagues to be my "eyes and ears" out in the community. 

  

Best regards,

Carol
