Creative Industries Funding

Toronto’s film, music and creative technology (video games, immersive, XR, esports) industries contribute greatly to Toronto’s economy and help reinforce the city’s status as a creative leader on a global scale. To support growth in these creative industries, through the Action Plan for Toronto’s Culture, the City of Toronto offers grants and sponsorships that make pathways to employment more accessible, expand business opportunities for creative entrepreneurs and showcase Toronto’s industries to engage residents, visitors and the world.
