The Indigenous Music Office (IMO) is excited to share that we've been named a direct recipient of $5 million in funding through the Canada Music Fund for 2026–27.
This is an important moment for Indigenous People working in music across Canada. It reflects decades of advocacy and the contributions of Indigenous music creators and industry professionals who helped shape our priorities through national consultations.
This investment gives us an opportunity to build the team, programs and infrastructure needed to create more opportunities for Indigenous music creators and professionals!
We are grateful for FACTOR and the Canada Council for the Arts, whose early support helped us get to where we are today. This milestone builds on years of hard work and advocacy by so many people who believed in a better future for Indigenous music in Canada. We're grateful to everyone who helped pave the way and honoured to continue that work for the next generation of Indigenous People working in music.
There's a lot of work ahead, and it will take time to get everything up and running. We'll share updates as details are confirmed.
We're excited to get to work!
