Grant from Library and Archives Canada

 

Guidelines 2021–22

Overview

Library and Archives Canada (LAC) provides $1.5 million in contributions each year through the DHCP (“the Program”).

This is a conditional payment issued to a recipient organization for a specific purpose, as outlined in a funding contribution agreement. LAC and the recipient organization sign a contribution agreement, which specifies the terms and conditions to receive payment. Every recipient organization is required to submit an interim report and a final report to LAC.

LAC receives applications once every year through a call for proposals and funds the best project proposals after rigorous reviews of eligibility, feasibility and merit.

Objectives

The DHCP aims to ensure that Canada's continuing memory is documented and accessible to current and future generations.

The DHCP provides financial assistance to the Canadian documentary heritage community for activities that:

  • increase access to, and awareness of, Canada's local documentary heritage organizations and their holdings; and
  • increase the capacity of local documentary heritage organizations to better sustain and preserve Canada's documentary heritage
Who can Apply:

Local documentary heritage organizations eligible to apply to the DHCP are non-profit organizations that hold collections of mainly local or regional significance:

  • Archives
  • Genealogical organizations/societies
  • Historical societies
  • Indigenous organizations/government institutions
  • Libraries
  • Organizations with an archival component
  • Professional library or archival associations

All applicants must be privately funded (50% or more) with the exception of Indigenous organizations/government institutions.

Different funding conditions apply to incorporated and non-incorporated organizations.

Ineligible applicants

  • Businesses (for profit)
  • Government institutions (except Indigenous government institutions)
  • Publicly funded organizations (such as municipal libraries)
  • Educational institutions (such as schools, colleges, universities)

Furthermore, non-profit organizations that are administered by a government entity or that receive more than 50% of their annual operating funding from any level of government without having to request it, are ineligible to apply for funding under the DHCP.

An ineligible applicant can still participate and/or collaborate in a project submitted by an eligible applicant, by providing the latter with in-kind or financial assistance. However, an ineligible organization cannot act as a co-applicant or official partner, nor can it benefit financially from the contribution.
