Iteration Program

The Iteration Program is a pilot initiative with the objective to support the creation of new content for previously CMF-funded IDM Projects that have demonstrated success in the marketplace. Eligible Applicants can propose the creation of new content or significant features to maximize their opportunities to reach new and returning audiences and ensure continued success for an existing Project.
