[BCMA] Access up to $250, 000 in funding from Digital Museums Canada

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Hello! 

Does your organization have a compelling story that could be told using a digital platform? Do you need funding or expert guidance?

Digital Museums Canada's 2023 Call for Proposals is now open!

Until December 1, 2023, eligible museums and heritage, cultural and Indigenous organizations are invited to apply for up to $250,000 in funding to create digital projects that engage current and future audiences.

This year, DMC has enhanced the program in two ways:

1. The funding streams have been simplified. Choose from one of two:

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.

2. The amount of funding available to create a project in the Community Stories stream has increased from $15,000 to $25,000 per organization, and we are pleased to make additional funding 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.

Digital Museums Canada (DMC) (http://www.digitalmuseums.ca) is the largest national investment program dedicated to supporting digital projects developed by Canadian museums and heritage organizations. DMC also provides expert guidance in digital accessibility, user experience, and inclusive design.   To date, over $15 million has been invested into more than 200 digital projects. See some examples at https://www.digitalmuseums.ca/funded-projects/.
