Description

The Aid to Publishers component of the Canada Periodical Fund (CPF) is designed to provide eligible Canadian publishers of print magazines, print community newspapers and digital periodicals with the financial support they need to produce and distribute high-quality, Canadian editorial content for Canadian readers.

For print magazines, funding is granted based on a formula that takes the total number of eligible copies distributed over a 12-month period as well as eligible editorial expenditures incurred during that period.

To be eligible for funding, publishing firms must meet all of the following requirements:

  • be a private-sector entity, which includes corporations, not-for-profit organizations, partnerships and sole proprietorships
  • be majority owned and controlled by Canadians
  • have its principal place of business in Canada
  • have published 1 or more eligible periodicals at the application deadline
  • maintain eligibility during the term of a grant or contribution agreement

 

To be eligible for funding, periodicals must meet all of the following requirements:

  • be published by an eligible publishing firm
  • be majority owned and controlled by Canadians
  • be a printed magazine
  • be distributed using either paid circulation or request circulation
  • have completed at least 1 uninterrupted 12-month publishing cycle at the application deadline, and continue to be published until at least March 31, 2026
  • have published between 2 and 52 regular issues and no more than 65 issues during the financial year, including special issues
  • contain an average of at least 80% Canadian editorial content in the issues published during the publisher’s financial year
  • contain an average of at most 70% advertising in the issues published during the publisher’s financial year
  • contain a minimum of 51% of original content
  • be edited, designed, assembled and published in Canada

Eligible Expenses

Financial support can be spent on different activities, including:

  • creation (writing, editing, photography, illustration and design);
  • production (pre-press and printing);
  • marketing;
  • distribution; and
  • website development and enhancement (including content development, and enhancements to the site’s architecture and functionality).

 

Financial support must be spent for expenses that occur during the next fiscal year (from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026). You may be required to return any part of the financial support not spent by the end of that period.
