The Rogers Group of Funds was created to support Canada’s independent production sector with three distinct types of funding: Rogers Telefund offers loans to Canadian independent producers; Rogers Documentary Fund, Canada’s premier source of funding for documentary films and the Rogers Cable Network fund, an equity investor in Canadian programs with a first play on a Canadian cable channel. To date, the Rogers Group of Funds has provided almost $500,000,000 in funding to nearly 2024 television and feature film projects. Since its inception, the Rogers Group of Funds has become an integral source of financing to independent producers across the country. Three different types of financing. Three different funds.
Guidelines and applications forms for 2024 can be obtained at http://www.rogersgroupoffunds.com
