The Partnerships Fund (Canadian Culture Online) is designed to assist partnership initiatives between not-for-profit, public and private organizations and institutions to connect all Canadians with the riches of Canada's heritage by making Canadian cultural collections held by provincial, municipal and local cultural organizations available via the Internet in both official languages.
At this time, the Department of Canadian Heritage is particularly seeking projects for the development of online content that helps deepen an understanding of Canada and its rich diversity, particularly for the benefit of youth, students and lifelong learners in the areas of Canada's contemporary culture and artistic expression, Aboriginal culture, Francophone community content and Canada's cultural diversity.
Funding under the Partnerships Fund is available to registered or incorporated Canadian not-for-profit organizations active in the cultural or heritage sector, public educational institutions, aboriginal, municipal or regional governments, or agencies of a provincial or territorial government.
The deadline for submitting an Expression of Interest for the 2007-2008 fiscal year is October 4, 2006.
