*Industry Funding
Funding available in the Interactive Digital Media industry is nothing new, however many of these funds are ‘unknown’ in some areas, specifically in the Manitoba market. This is simply because the funds are not being broadcast to many professionals and companies as diligently as they may need to be. The Manitoba Interactive Digital Media Fund (MIDMF) is actually ‘under subscribed’, which is a surprise to many that this type of fund actually exists for Manitobans.
LIV interactive has decided to dedicate a section in this site to broadcast funding and funding agencies that can be tapped into to help the development of content and product assistance in the interactive digital media industry. We want to help broadcast the opportunities available, and would like to continue to grow this section with your help. If you have any to add please send us a note with the details in our *Contact area with the subject ATTN: Interactive Digital Media Funding and we will make sure to add them to this growing list.
Thanks,
LIV
