GATINEAU, QC, June 20, 2023 /CNW/ - Eligible museums and heritage, cultural and Indigenous organizations are invited to apply for up to $250,000 in funding from Digital Museums Canada (DMC). Over $2 million in funding will be distributed to successful applicants to create a range of bilingual digital products, including virtual exhibits and tours, web-based games, and educational resources.
This year, DMC has enhanced the program in two ways:
- The funding streams have been simplified down to two to make it easier for interested organizations to understand which one fits them best:
- Community Stories
With an investment of $25,000, develop an engaging story created with DMC's website-building platform. - Digital Projects
With an investment of up to $250,000, develop an online project from the ground up in collaboration with a web development agency. - The amount of funding available in the Community Stories stream has increased from $15,000 to $25,000 per organization. Additional funding is available to have stories translated into a third language. DMC is committed to supporting stories from diasporas in Canada and contributing to the preservation of Indigenous languages.
DMC is the largest national investment program dedicated to supporting digital projects. To date, it has provided more than $15 million in funding for more than 200 projects. DMC also provides expert guidance in digital accessibility, user experience, and inclusive design.
The 2023 Call for Proposals closes on December 1, 2023.
