The Government of Canada is implementing the COVID-19 Emergency Support Fund for Cultural, Heritage and Sport Organizations to complement economic measures already announced by the Government of Canada. This fund will help organizations ensure that they can continue contributing to their sector in the future. It is being administered by FACTOR (the Foundation Assisting Canadian Talent on Recordings). Eligible applicants include:

• Venues: Both for-profit venues and festivals; and not-for-profit venues and festivals who do not receive emergency support through the DOCH’s Canada Arts Presentation Fund, or from the Canada Council for the Arts (CCA). You must be a Canadian entrepreneur or organization in the live music sector that does not normally receive funding from the Canada Music Fund (CMF). For those with revenues of $100,000 or more, you must have had a profit margin of less than 15% since March 15, 2020.
• Artist Managers and Booking Agents: You must be a Canadian entrepreneur or organization in the live music sector that does not normally receive funding from the Canada Music Fund (CMF). This includes, among others, artist managers that are not covered – or less well covered – by Phase 1 of the Emergency Support Fund, and booking agents. For those with revenues of $100,000 or more, you must have had a profit margin of less than 15% since March 15, 2020.
