Highly Successful IPF Pre-Application Training Program for Prairie Producers Returns!

Following the success of the inaugural program in 2025, the Independent Production Fund (IPF), in partnership with On Screen Manitoba and Creative Saskatchewan, is now accepting applications for a second edition of its Pre-Application Training Program for Prairie Producers.

The program provides Prairie-based producers with training and support to create a competitive series development funding application. Led by Program Manager Brendon Sawatzky, this initiative supports participants in developing the essential creative and business materials required for a successful funding application.
The program is part of the IPF's ongoing commitment to increase regional representation and ensure equitable access to funding opportunities across the country.

The program aims to:

● Provide Prairie-based producers the skills to “level-up” all the materials required for a competitive application.

● Connect participants with experienced story editors and development executives.

● Help participants improve their understanding of the legal, budgetary, and scheduling materials required for a competitive application.

The program made an indelible impression on its participants:

“This program provided me the guidance and understanding to successfully prepare for the IPF Development application.” said 2025 participant Sarah Luby. “ Without the mentorship, I am not sure I would have had such a successful outcome. I am now in the development stage, and eternally grateful to this program.”

“Le programme m'a donné les outils et la confiance nécessaires pour renforcer mon projet. Il a joué un rôle important dans l'obtention du financement en développement du FIP pour ma série.” said Alice Teufack, who resides in Manitoba.

Program partners also recognize the value of the initiative:

“ScreenSask is thrilled to once again participate in the IPF Pre-Application Program. This program offers invaluable access to knowledge and expertise that gives participants a leg up when applying to IPF, and other Canadian funding programs. We applaud IPF for making this program available."said Robert Hardy, Executive Director of ScreenSask.

The 2026 IPF Pre-Application Training Program for Prairie Producers is now open for submissions. To submit your application, fill out the form here: https://form.jotform.com/261916446126055

À l’intention des producteurs francophones :
