BravoFACT (Foundation to Assist Canadian Talent) was a Canadian fund that ran continuously from 1995 to 2017. It was established to fund the creation of Canadian arts-based

BravoFACT Presents.[1]

In 2017, at the request of Bell Media, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission deleted the condition of licence requiring Bravo! to financially contribute to BravoFACT. On September 26, 2017, bravoFACT was officially discontinued.[2]

Background

While active, BravoFACT's objectives were to:

  • Stimulate public interest in Canadian excellence in the arts.
  • Encourage the creation of new ways of presenting the arts on television.
  • Increase public recognition of Canadian artists and their works.
  • Provide professional opportunities for film and video-makers.

"The idea is for artists to be given a chance to have their work exposed to the greater television viewing audience," said executive director Judy Gladstone.
