For a "Community Stories" project created with a template and including an investment of $15,000.

Funding is available for bilingual online projects, modest or ambitious, that provide an interpretation of the subject matter and content as well as an engaging user experience. The “Small investment” stream is intended for small Canadian community museums and heritage organizations that wish to create community-focussed[1] online projects with a user-friendly template. These projects are called Community Stories. Organizations whose proposals are accepted receive an investment of $15,000 and the support and guidance of the DMC team throughout the project.

The objectives of this stream are the following:
- Tell stories, past and present, of Canada’s communities and make them accessible to all Canadians.
- Strengthen the capacity of Canada’s community museums to create digital content for use online.
- Increase the online presence of Canada’s community museums.
- Promote collaboration between communities and museums to create online projects on local history.
- Encourage Canadians to share their personal heritage with others.
DMC issues an annual call for proposals. A proposal must be submitted online before the deadline by the organization responsible for the project, also referred to as the “applicant.” Only proposals that meet the eligibility requirements are evaluated by DMC. Agreements are signed with the organizations receiving an investment.
Notes: Applicants can submit more than one proposal in response to a call for proposals. However, DMC will only award an investment to one project at a time.
