Funding

MUSICACTION, un organisme sans but lucratif, a été fondé en août 1985 à l’initiative des professionnels de la radio et de l’industrie du disque et du spectacle. Depuis 24 ans, la Fondation encourage le développement de la musique en soutenant la production et la commercialisation d’enregistrements sonores ainsi que les activités de promotion collective. Les projets de musique anglophone sont dirigés vers FACTOR.

MuchFACT

A Foundation To Assist Canadian Talent, was created in 1984 concurrent with the launch of MuchMusic, which committed a percentage of its gross annual revenues to stimulate the production of new Canadian music videos. Two years later, when MusiquePlus went on the air, it also became a sponsor, as did MuchMoreMusic when it launched in 1998. The launch of MuchMore (formerly known as MuchMoreMusic) also marked the creation of PromoFACT, an Electronic Press Kit and website production fund for Canadian artists, independent record labels and artist management companies.

Deadlines and Activity Start/End Dates

In an effort to decrease the wait time for shortfall payments and allow for more supported presentations, the BIH season is divided into two terms.
Term 1: Oct 1, 2012 – Feb 28, 2013
Term 2: March 1, 2013 – June 30, 2013
Music Nova Scotia will endeavour to reconcile submitted financials and issue shortfall payments for Term 1 by April 30, 2013 and for Term 2 by August 30, 2013.

Deadline 1: Qualification

An eligible applicant is a non-profit organization or society committed to providing musical experiences for their communities. Some undertake only a handful of performances a year, others may present dozens, but most will stage anywhere from three to eight performances a season. With a few exceptions, the season runs from fall to spring. Some community presenters may have some paid employees on staff, but most rely on community volunteers. Music festivals that wish to present non-festival presentations must contact the Program Officer to confirm eligibility.
