The 2025-2026 call for proposals for the Documentary Heritage Communities Program is now open. Eligible organizations are invited to submit their application by January 9, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. (PST).
The purpose of this program is to provide approximately $ 1.5 million in funding each year to local organizations in support of Canada’s documentary heritage. The term “documentary heritage” refers to records and publications (written or audio-visual) that reflect Canada’s history. Some examples include:
- photographs
- audio or video recordings
- treaties
- dictionaries and lexicons
- portraits
- diaries
- maps
The program objectives are to help local organizations:
- increase access to, and awareness of their holdings
- increase their capacity to keep and preserve Canada’s documentary heritage
Each year, organizations can apply for funding through a call for proposals. The call opens in the fall for projects starting in April the next year.
