Need Funding For Your Video?
A Foundation To Assist Canadian Talent, was created in 1984 concurrent with the launch of MuchMusic, which committed a percentage of its gross annual revenues to stimulate the production of new Canadian music videos. Two years later, when MusiquePlus went on the air, it also became a sponsor, as did MuchMoreMusic when it launched in 1998. The launch of MuchMoreMusic also marked the creation of PromoFACT, an Electronic Press Kit and website production fund for Canadian artists, independent record labels and artist management companies.
VideoFACT is funded entirely by MuchMusic, MuchMoreMusic and MusiquePlus. For VideoFACT's 2006-2007 fiscal year, the three stations will contribute more than $5.3 million to the foundation. To date, VideoFACT has allocated $43.9 million to more than 4,000 music video, website and EPK projects.
VideoFACT considers applications requesting co-financing for music videos, websites and EPKs (the latter through MuchMoreMusic's PromoFACT award program) six times a year. Applications are judged by a nine-person board of directors, and successful applicants receive non-recoupable awards of up to 50 percent of production costs to a maximum of $25,000 for music videos and a maximum of $3,500 for websites and EPKs.
