    To sign up for direct deposit, follow the instructions on the direct deposit page. Once you have registered, all Yukon government payments go directly into your bank account.


  3. What to do if your project changes

    Contact an arts advisor if your project is going to change from the description in your application.

    They will determine if the change is significant. This is to make sure the expenses and intent of the project align with the application approved by the jury.

    We need to approve significant changes. If you make changes without our approval, this could mean your project is ineligible and we may need you to return your funding.

    What to do if you can't complete your project

    Contact an arts advisor to discuss your circumstances. There is no financial penalty. We may need a report describing what you achieved and how you have spent funds so far.

    You must return unused funding to us.

    You can reapply for funding if we've received a satisfactory report from you.

    What to do if you need an extension

    Contact an arts advisor to discuss your circumstances. We may ask you to provide a final report even if the project is not completed as you had envisioned.


  4. Create a financial report

    When you create your final report, the financial section should look like the budget summary in your application, except that all the figures will be your actual costs and revenues.

    Download a sample financial report.

    Provide detailed information. Include in-kind goods and services, sponsors and other funding.

    Keep the receipts from your project expenses. You will need receipts to prepare your final financial report. We may request to see your project receipts for up to 2 years after the completion of your agreement.

    Sign the report when it's completed. For group applicants, 2 authorized officials from the organization must sign.
