Program for Black and Racialized Communities

Beginning in 2026-2027, the Linear Content Programs – Core Production Guidelines have been eliminated. For most Linear Content Production Programs, the Broadcaster Envelope Program (Production) – English and French and/or the Distributor Envelope Program will serve as the main sets of Guidelines for project funding.

The Program for Black and Racialized Communities (PBRC) recognizes the historic barriers members of Black and racialized communities still face today. The Program supports the growth of English- and French language audiovisual production from production companies owned and controlled by Black people and people of colour.

The Program for Black and Racialized Communities’ Development and Predevelopment allocations are found on the Development and Predevelopment Funding page.
