This program aims to consolidate and promote the strategic development of a financing plan for a Montréal-based professional cultural facility. Its intent is to partly finance a fundraising campaign supported by any Montréal-based professional cultural organization wishing to complete its portion of the financing package already announced in connection with the capital project for which it is acting as developer.

The decision to finance a cultural organization’s fundraising activities is made by consensus between two partners of the Forum permanent des équipements culturels. This program is offered under Montréal’s cultural development agreement.

Organizations must:

• Benefit from an agreement in principle with the Ministère de la Culture et des Communications du Québec (or an equivalent) or be the subject of a prior ministerial announcement.
• Be a recognized cultural organization.
• Be legally constituted as a non-profit organization, and created expressly for purposes of carrying out professional cultural activities.
• Have its head offices in Montréal.
• Be an owner.
• Be in good standing with applicable municipal regulations and government legislation.
• Demonstrate conclusively its capacity to ensure its sustainability.

The cultural facility must:

• Be permanently dedicated to the cultural activity.
• Be located in Montréal.
• Be owned by the organization.

• Projects involving virtual spaces
• Organizations associated with cultural recreation
• Projects undertaken by community centres and social or arts centres
• School boards and educational institutions (except vocational training schools recognized by the MCC)

Applications to participate in this program can be submitted year-round.
