Canada Periodical Fund — Aid to Publishers

In plain language

Formula-based operating support for Canadian print magazines, digital periodicals, and community newspapers. 2026-27 intake closed March 16, 2026; expect February 2027 reopen. Most periodicals see awards in $5K–$150K range; headline cap applies only to very-high-circulation publications. Per-title cap of $150K (excluding farm periodicals). Budget 2025 announced that starting April 1, 2028, funding will refocus purely on original Canadian editorial content — 2026-27 and 2027-28 remain status quo. Reliable annual envelope if your publication meets the Canadian-editorial and circulation thresholds.
