Aid to Publishers – 2021-2022 Funding Cycle

Date: 29th October 2020

The 2021-2022 Application Guidelines and application form for the Aid to Publishers component of the Canada Periodical Fund (CPF) are now available at https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/services/funding/periodical-fund.html

This is the first in a five-year plan to modernize the  Canada Periodical Fund and as such the guidelines have changed.

Main changes to the Aid to Publishers component:

  • For print periodicals, applications will now be evaluated based on the following formula:
    • Total number of eligible copies circulated
    • Eligible editorial expenditures
  •  Print paid periodicals no longer need to have sold at least 50% of copies consisting of subscription copies, single-copy/newsstand copies and sponsored copies (free periodicals are still ineligible).
  • A new subcomponent to fund digital-only periodicals.
