[BCMA] Festival and Event Grants

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hi Pamela:



Heritage Canada offers the following for festivals and anniversaries (bloe text taken from their website).



The Building Communities through Arts and Heritage Program delivers its funding through three separate components: Local Festivals, Community Anniversaries and the Legacy Fund.

Local Festivals<http://www.pch.gc.ca/eng/1286200191657>
The Local Festivals component provides funding to local groups for recurring festivals that present the work of local artists, artisans, or historical performers.
Community Anniversaries<http://www.pch.gc.ca/eng/1286221768493>
The Community Anniversaries component provides funding to local groups for non–recurring local events and capital projects that commemorate an anniversary of 100 years or greater in increments of 25 years.
Legacy Fund<http://www.pch.gc.ca/eng/1286366260223>
The Legacy Fund component provides funding for community capital projects that commemorate a 100th anniversary or greater in increments of 25 years, of a significant local historical event or local historical personality.
