• The Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund was established in 1999 as a $20 million initiative to assist Ontario's cultural and heritage organizations in capitalizing on the potential of exciting and innovative exhibitions and events.

• OCAF is open to large and small not-for-profit cultural and heritage organizations in all parts of Ontario.

• OCAF invests in good ideas: the Fund helps cultural and heritage organizations increase and diversify their earned revenue sources by attracting tourists and other visitors to new attractions and special events.

• OCAF helps reduce the financial risk of creating new ventures by providing up-front working capital in the form of partially-repayable loans.

• OCAF investment is directed towards the marketing and promotional costs of the new attraction or special event.

• Loan repayments are used to invest in future events.
