Your real odds
The CMF is committing $362.6M across its programs in 2026-2027, with recent investment announcements ranging from $4.8M across 22 projects to $10M across 19 projects.
Competition varies significantly by program, because some envelopes are performance-based and allocated directly to broadcasters, while open application rounds like the POV Program or the Program for Black and Racialized Communities draw from limited pools.
