сервер у них перегружен, а сайт внизу -
Canada Council for the Arts - это национальная организация у нас.

Правительственные (федеральные) субсидии в области искусств, категория В

Можно сказать "федеральные" (гранты или субсидии) т.к. в данном случае они предоставляются именно федеральным правительством Канады. В провинциях есть свои системы подобных субсидий.
У вас , - т.е. это национальная орг-я, именно федеральные субсидии (гранты).
Я бы оставил категорию В (а не Б) во избежание сумятицы.
Гранты разделяются по нескольким категориям.

Professional artists are divided into three categories: emerging, mid-career and established. The criteria for these categories differ from one artistic discipline to the next and are listed in each grant program document. Generally, emerging artists are those at an early stage in their career who have completed their basic training and have created a modest independent body of work, mid-career artists are those who have created an independent body of work for a number of years, and established artists are those at a mature stage in their careers who have created an extensive body of work and have reached an advanced level of achievement.

Canadian non-profit arts organizations - such as theatre companies, art museums, public galleries, artist-run centres, dance companies, orchestras and film co-operatives - that are staffed by arts professionals who create artistic works, or present them to the Canadian public, are also eligible, as are professional publishing houses.
