Objective
The Endowment Incentives component is intended to foster a climate that encourages private donors to contribute to endowment funds for not-for-profit professional arts organizations in order that they may have access to new sources of funding in the future. Raising capital and creating endowments gives these organizations greater capacity for realizing artistic expression by supporting their long-term stability. The Endowment Incentives component invites active involvement from the private sector in the cultural affairs of the community by providing matching funds of up to one dollar for every dollar raised from private donors, to create endowment funds or to increase existing ones.
Funding
The Department of Canadian Heritage under the Endowment Incentives component of the Canadian Arts & Heritage Sustainability Program disburses funding through grants.
Who may Apply
An application to the Endowment Incentives component is submitted jointly by a not-for-profit professional arts organization and an associated public foundation. Each of these two parties to the application must meet appropriate, separate eligibility criteria.
Federal agencies, Crown corporations, provinces, territories, and municipalities and their agencies are not eligible for funding under this component.
How to Apply
Please read the Guidelines carefully before preparing your application. Applicants are strongly encouraged to consult with a program officer at the Department of Canadian Heritage before submitting a completed application.
