In recent years, MusicNL has benefited from additional provincial funding through Come Home Year and Year of the Arts. These amounts helped support increases to our regular funding programs and some special initiatives. The additional provincial allocations have come to an end for the 2025-26 fiscal year.  In order to foster our industry and continue supporting as many projects as possible, MusicNL has made some changes to funding programs for 2025-26.  

Starting April 1, 2025, the following changes to funding programs will be in effect:

• Professional Development: project funding will be to a maximum of 75% of the total eligible costs or total request, whichever is lower.
• Touring Programs: funding will remain the same, without the additional allocation.
• Artist Development: funding will remain the same, without the additional allocation.
• Community Presenters Program: this program has now ended.  MusicNL will not be accepting any further applications for 2025-26.
• Small Business Micro Grant: this program has now ended.  MusicNL will not be accepting any further applications for 2025-26.
