The Collective Initiatives program is comprised of three components which, singly or in combination, help finance music industry events, showcases, and productions which have a collective benefit to the Canadian music industry.
Every event or initiative funded under this program must be collective in nature. Projects cannot predominantly benefit any one artist or enterprise. Successful projects will create new market development results for Canadian artists or music entrepreneurs.
All new applicants must submit a Letter of Intent at least six months prior to start date, and receive permission from FACTOR to apply.
