New Voluntary Demographic Questions

FACTOR has launched some new voluntary demographic data collection questions in the portal. The information provided to us is confidential. The purpose of these questions is for FACTOR to have a better understanding of who is using the system and who is receiving funding.


This information will be used to consider notable demographic trends when analyzing the impact of the funding, and in making decisions about program design and profile criteria.

“What is this person’s gender?”

“Is this person an Aboriginal person?”

“Is the person a member of a visible minority group?”

These questions have been added to the following sections:

User Profiles
  • new users and on the User profile page on the dashboard
Applicant Profiles
  • individuals
  • partners
  • president/CEO
  • shareholders
  • board members
Artist Profiles
  • artist members

Please contact us at communications@factor.ca if you have any questions.
