The Micro Stream is requesting grant applications to support small, focused marketing projects designed to improve visibility and support business growth within creative industries.
The key focus areas of this program include support for smaller-scale marketing projects, increasing visibility, generating sales, demonstrating commercial intent within creative projects, and encouraging business growth beyond the current status of the applicant.
The Marketing Grant – Micro Stream is intended for smaller and more sharply focused marketing initiatives. Approved projects may receive funding of up to 50% of the approved project budget, with a maximum contribution of $5,000 per applicant per fiscal year, whichever is lower. Applicants are limited to one Marketing Grant under the Micro Stream per fiscal year. Additionally, applicants cannot receive multiple Micro Grants through related entities such as single-purpose companies, parent companies, or other businesses where they hold ownership or majority control.
Eligible applicants must be active practitioners in creative industries recognized under The Creative Saskatchewan Act (2013). These industries include book publishing, craft and visual arts, digital game development, film and television, live performing arts, and music. Applicants are required to demonstrate commercial intent within their project and show a clear ambition to expand and grow their business beyond its current stage.
Applicants may also receive support through industry associations connected to Creative Saskatchewan, including the Saskatchewan Craft Council, SaskBooks, SaskGalleries, SaskInteractive, SaskMusic, the Saskatchewan Association of Theatre Professionals, and ScreenSask, which may assist during the application process.
Eligibility also requires applicants to be in good standing with Creative Saskatchewan. Applications may be submitted by corporations, groups such as musicians, non-profits, collectives, or individuals, provided they meet the necessary residency, establishment, and tax requirements in Saskatchewan.
Corporations must be registered or incorporated to operate in Saskatchewan, have majority ownership by Saskatchewan residents, maintain a permanent establishment in the province, and have filed a Saskatchewan income tax return for the previous taxation year. Groups, non-profits, and collectives must also meet similar residency and tax filing requirements.
Individuals must have filed a Saskatchewan income tax return for the previous year. Those who have recently returned to Saskatchewan and have not yet filed taxes may instead provide valid provincial identification such as a Saskatchewan driver’s licence or SGI photo ID.
