Applications Open for 2026-27 Heritage Organization Development Grant

May 12, 2026

The Ontario government is protecting Canadian culture and identity by investing over $230,000 to ensure events across the province can continue delivering world-class exhibitions, programming, and activities for visitors of all ages and interests.

Last year 165 heritage organizations were funded through the Heritage Organization Development Grant, an annual operating grant that is designed to promote public awareness of Ontario’s rich and diverse heritage.

This program provides funding for local historical societies, smaller community museums and other heritage associations, located throughout the province.

Our government is always looking for ways to promote the heritage of our province, sharing the stories of our past, present and future.
