Definitions and Capacity Building

The Equity Office has three funding programs available through its Capacity Building Initiative. These programs are available to arts organizations and arts professionals from and engaged in culturally diverse, Deaf and disability arts communities.

The ASL videos (with English audio and captioning) below provide basic information about the programs. If you decide to apply to a program, you must read the full guidelines and complete the application forms (see links to the right of the videos). These videos are also available in Langue des signes québécoise (LSQ) with French audio and captioning.

These programs are just a few of the many programs that the Canada Council offers. Search the full range of grants and prizes available.
