Agreement Number:

WP240021

Agreement Value:

$474,925.00

Agreement Date:

Aug 28, 2024 - Mar 31, 2026

Description:

Through this 19-month project, Women in Music Canada will build its capacity to advance gender equality and support women and gender-diverse creators and innovators in the music industry. This project will address lack of capacity within the organization and their regional chapters to grow opportunities and communication in line with the growing needs of the industry. This will allow WIMC to engage on a national level, and support partner organizations trying to tackle gender barriers and increase opportunities for underserved women and gender-diverse individuals in the industry. The project will include increased staff support for membership, networking development opportunities, communications, administration, and organization leadership. This will allow WIMC to be more actively engaging with members, financially support regional chapters, discover more opportunities, elevate support and benefits for women and non-binary artists, and break down barriers to success in the music industry in Canada. Additionally, new administration and sponsor fulfillment support will allow the organization to increase private support beyond this project to sustain and continue growth. This funding will also support WIMC ability to translate communication materials and meet the needs of the Francophone communities in the Canadian music industry.
