Our Direction Shaping
Priorities Strategic
The Funding Program Renewal began with a simple commitment: to listen. We wanted to understand how SaskCulture’s funding programs are working, where they may need to change, and how they can continue to serve Saskatchewan’s cultural community in a meaningful and sustainable way. Through consultations, surveys, conversations, and community gatherings, participants shared their experiences and perspectives. There was clear recognition of the pressures facing the sector, including inflation, volunteer fatigue, shifting audiences, and funding uncertainty, alongside a strong emphasis on advancing equity, mentorship, youth leadership, and programs that reflect real community needs.
The Renewal is unfolding in four stages: listening and gathering input, reviewing and analyzing what is heard, and moving toward implementation and ongoing evaluation. This work is not a one-time effort. It is continuous, and engagement with the cultural community will remain an ongoing part of the process. The Strategic Plan has been developed through this lens. Our three Strategic Priorities are a direct response to what we have learned so far. The conversations we have had, and will continue to have, are guiding how we review programs, strengthen support, and adapt to a changing environment. We are grateful to everyone who has contributed to this work. Your voices are helping us build a funding framework that is more responsive, inclusive, and sustainable for the years ahead.
