Get matched →The Theatre Projects program provides funding to professional, non-profit theatre organizations and collectives for the creation, production and presentation of theatre works and other projects that support the development of professional theatre in Toronto. The City of Toronto supports this program through a funding allocation approved annually by Toronto City Council. Works conceived for digital platforms are eligible in all categories.
Applicants must be either an incorporated non-profit organization or an unincorporated collective operating on a not-for-profit basis and must be located in the City of Toronto. A Post Office Box address cannot be used to meet this requirement. Organizations with a regional Toronto office must have operated in the City of Toronto for at least one year prior to the deadline. For collectives of two artists, both must be City of Toronto residents. For collectives of more than two artists, the majority of members must be City of Toronto residents. Collective members cannot be Theatre undergraduate students. Artists must be professional, meaning they have developed their skills through training and/or practice; are recognized as such by artists working in the same artistic tradition; actively practice their art; seek payment for their work; and have a history of public presentation. The project for which funding is requested must take place in the City of Toronto. Applicants may receive only one grant per calendar year through the Theatre program and may not apply to other TAC discipline programs.
TAC will not fund 100% of a project; applicants must indicate a range of revenue sources, which may include donated goods and services. The payment of artist fees is a requirement in this program. Project expenses can include artist fees, production and technical fees, marketing and outreach costs, administrative costs, childcare costs, etc.
