Factor

The Collective Initiatives program is comprised of three components that, singly or in combination, help finance music industry events, showcases and productions that have a collective benefit for the Canadian music industry.

Every event or initiative funded under this program must be collective in nature. Projects cannot predominantly benefit any one artist or enterprise. Successful projects will create new market development results for Canadian artists or music entrepreneurs.

Who is eligible:

All new applicants must submit a Letter of Intent at least six months prior to start date, and receive permission from FACTOR to apply. Canadian corporations, associations and non-profit organizations with an approved applicant profile can apply. New applicants must submit a one-page Letter of Intent at least 6 months before project start date to determine eligibility. If the letter of intent is approved, the applicant must have an approved applicant profile in order to apply.

January 15, 2025, for events occurring between May 1 and August 31, 2025
