New Funding Opportunity:
Making Cultural Spaces Safe During COVID-19
Canadian Cultural Spaces Fund

In Budget 2021, the Government of Canada made an investment in Canada Cultural Spaces Fund (CCSF) of an additional $15 million in 2021–2022 to provide a one-time project-based financial support for arts and heritage organizations across Canada to upgrade their space to be able to open safely while following relevant public health guidelines related to COVID-19.

Support for “Making Cultural Spaces Safe During COVID-19” (the Fund) can be used for renovating or adapting spaces to make them safe for workers and the public to return, as well as the purchase and installation of health and safety-related specialized equipment.

The initiative can fund up to 100% of eligible expenses or $150,000 per fiscal year in the case of grants, and 100% of eligible expenses or $300,000 per year in the case of contributions.

There is no deadline to apply for the Fund. Applications will be accepted on a continuous basis and assessed as they are received until the funds are fully disbursed. Eligible organizations are encouraged to apply as soon as possible to ensure that the program has sufficient time to assess their application and the organization has enough time to carry out its project. All projects must be carried out before March 31, 2022.
