Canada-France Agreement — Museums Assistance Program (MAP) │Canadian Heritage

Only the following items will be considered as eligible expenses:

• travel, accommodation, meal and incidental expenses as per Travel on government business directive;
• incremental administration costs related to the mission.

Funding, in the form of grants, is provided by the Canadian Government to recipients to cover the cost of airline tickets for Canadian participants going to France, and accommodation, meals, incidentals and travel by French participants while in Canada. Travel by Canadians in Canada may also be considered.

Expenses made by Canadians while in France are reimbursed by the French Government, following the completion of the project and upon submission of original receipts.

Donated goods and services (in-kind contributions) are not reimbursable but may be considered real contributions to the cost of the proposed project if they:

• are essential to your project’s success;
• are eligible and would otherwise have to be purchased or paid for by you;
• can be measured at fair market value (i.e. in relation to similar goods and services); and
• are balanced by an equal revenue in your budget (i.e. total in-kind expenses equal total in-kind revenues).
