VideoFACT
VideoFACT offers a program of non-recoupable grants for the production of Canadian music videos.
The organization was set up voluntarily and funded entirely by the MuchMusic Network. Requests for
financing may come from record companies, record producers, video directors, producers or artists -
basically, anyone involved in the production of the music video. While most videos are produced to
promote a sound recording, this is not a requirement for VideoFACT. VideoFACT supports all forms
of music videos, in both English and French.
