Clarifications to the eligibility criteria for the Expanded Arts & Culture Resilience Supplement

We listened to feedback from the arts and culture sector and are today announcing clarifications to the eligibility criteria for the Expanded Arts & Culture Resilience Supplement (EACRS).

These clarifications will ensure that the supplement—which is designed to support organizations and collectives to manage the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic—reaches all those for whom it was originally intended.

The clarifications include:

• Adjusting the eligibility timeframe to include actual revenue loss this year up to December 31, 2020;
• Clarifying the definition of loss to include a reduction in capacity or activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic through to March 31, 2021.

For more information regarding the Expanded Arts & Culture Resilience Supplement, including updated eligibility, please visit the program webpage or these FAQ’s.

The deadline for EACRS is January 29, 2021.

Organizations and collectives should also consider applying to the Pivot program, which has a deadline of January 4, 2021
