Recipient Accessibility Support Fund: FACTOR grant recipients are eligible for top-up support to their project funding of up to $5,000 each fiscal year, not to exceed $5,000 per project for costs related to accessibility. Eligible costs claimed under this fund will be reimbursed at 100%.
Eligibility:
Applications Steps:
Applicants must:
create a user profile on the FACTOR application platform;
create an applicant profile (of the individual, partnership, or corporation that will enter into a general agreement with FACTOR if funding is offered);
create an artist profile (an artist profile provides FACTOR with a snapshot of the artist’s music career thus far. This helps FACTOR determine artist profile ratings and program eligibility);
create a project and choose the project components;
fill and validate the application.
Documentation Needed:
All applications must include the Sound Recording component.
The Radio Marketing component can be sent for approval in the same application or in subsequent ones. Multiple, repeat component applications are possible as appropriate for the project’s timeline, subject to the program or annual limits.
Other Things to Note:
- Applicants are obligated as a condition of funding to include the appropriate logos and acknowledgment in all materials created in a FACTOR-funded project. Please review the Logo and Acknowledgment Guide for specific instructions. For ads that are shorter than 30 seconds, FACTOR will allow the abbreviated acknowledgement “Funded by FACTOR.” For longer ads, FACTOR will accept “Funded by FACTOR and Canada’s Private Radio Broadcasters.” Remember, the failure to provide appropriate logos and acknowledgment could result in a loss of some or all of your funding.
- Program guidelines for 2022-2023 were published in April 2022.
