Broadcaster Envelope Program – English and French | Canada Media Fund (CMF)

December 5, 2024

Value

Up to a total of $200,000 for all combined development activities and phases.

Description

The objective of the Broadcaster Envelope Program is to encourage partnerships between broadcasters, Distributors and producers to create content that Canadian audiences want to consume anytime, anywhere.  The majority of the CMF’s funding is disbursed through the Broadcaster Envelope Program.

Through this Program, the CMF allocates funding envelopes allocations to Canadian Broadcasters in an amount that reflects their track record of supporting Canadian programming. Broadcasters commit these funds to Canadian projects that they believe will appeal to their viewers. Even though Broadcasters receive a funding envelope allocation, the actual funding is paid directly to the Eligible Applicants according to a payment schedule.

Eligible Applicants

An Eligible Applicant to the CMF is either a for-profit (i.e., a taxable Canadian corporation, within the meaning of Canada’s
Income Tax Act) production company or Canadian Broadcaster that:

  • Is Canadian-controlled as determined in sections 26 to 28 of the Investment Canada Act.
  • Has its head office in Canada.
  • Is in good standing with all applicable talent and industry associations and guilds.
  • Has affirmed and attested that the Project submitted for funding complies with the CMF’s Narrative Positioning Policy.
    and
  • All individuals that own and control the Applicant company/Applicant Canadian Broadcaster have registered for a PERSONA-ID account(s) and have provided this account number as part of their Application.

Eligible Expenses

In development, only Canadian costs are Eligible Costs. Costs incurred more than twelve (12) months prior to the Applicant
entering into an eligible development agreement are not Eligible Costs, with the exception of the option or acquisition of
rights and the expenses associated with acquiring those rights, as long as they are not paid to a person with ownership
interest.

Deadline Date

First closing date: October 17, 2024; Final closing date: December 5, 2024.
