[BCMA] Webinar #7 - Special Funding presentation by Canadian Heritage

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hello everyone,

I am pleased to announce a special presentation by Canadian Heritage as our
October webinar!

Program officers Colleen Craig and Michael Smith will give an overview of
the main heritage funding programs offered by the federal Department of
Canadian Heritage <https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage.html>.
The Museums
Assistance Program
<https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/services/funding/museums-assistance.html>
(MAP) supports
projects that include the creation or hosting of travelling exhibits,
collection management storage or database improvements, shared best
practices workshops and Indigenous heritage organizations. We’ll go over
the basics of applicant and project eligibility, the assessment process, as
well as what makes a strong application.  They will also speak to the other
programs museums may be eligible for, including the Canada Cultural Spaces
Fund (for renovation, construction, planning, and specialized museum
equipment purchase), Building Communities Through Arts & Heritage (for
activities celebrating/commemorating a community’s past through festivals,
events and projects), and Celebrate Canada (for festivities celebrating
National Aboriginal Day, Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day, Multiculturalism Day, and
Canada Day).
