Museums Assistance Program Emergency Assistance has been updated
The Canadian Heritage portal for Museums Assistance Program Emergency Assistance has been updated to accept applications from small museums with budgets between $2,000 and $10,000.
Note that the changes to the portal and their web site pages are now live. Essentially, they added two brackets for the under $10K organizations. Funding amounts, to eligible organizations, will range from $1,000 to a maximum of $100,000. The amount will be determined by a formula based on the organization’s 2019 expenses (or last completed fiscal year).
The formula is as follows:
- For annual expenses between $2,000 and $4,999: fixed funding amount of $1,000
- For annual expenses between $5,000 and $9,999: fixed funding amount of $2,000
- For annual expenses between $10,000 and $50,000: fixed funding amount of $5,000
- For annual expenses between $50,001 and $100,000: fixed funding amount of $10,000
- For annual expenses between $100,001 and $3,000,000: variable amount equivalent to 10% of annual expenses up to a maximum of $100,000
