Museum Grant Program

Amount

MGP operates on a 2-year cycle, providing two years of funding to successful applicants. The program has three funding stream levels, each with a separate application form. Applicants may only apply to one stream and must choose which application form to complete depending upon their individual circumstances and the expectations of the funding stream.

To determine the most suitable stream in which to apply:

1. Review the table below to determine the stream of funding that is best-suited for your museum. Note the level of applicant contribution that is required from sources other than MGP/Saskatchewan Lotteries. When determining the request amount, remember that only eligible operational expenses will be considered (refer to the Eligible and Ineligible Expense section on page 7 of the MGP Guidelines).
2. Review the Funding Stream Features section on page 5 of the MGP Guidelines. This section outlines what successful museums in each stream tend to encompass and outlines the application requirements for each stream.

For all streams, there is no guarantee that the amount requested will be the amount awarded. For instance, an applicant may apply to Stream Two for $8,000, but might only be awarded $4,000.

The maximum level of funding an applicant could potentially receive in each stream is:

*Budget ranges are based on MGP Statistics. This is a reflection of the majority of budgets per stream. Some applicant budgets may fall outside of these ranges and as such, may not be represented in the ranges listed above.
