New Client Induction Grant Program

Granting

Program Goal

The goal of the New Client Induction Grant Program is to invest in organizations that are eligible, but not currently funded through Calgary Arts Development’s Operating Grant Program. Priority is given to diverse[i] and emerging[ii] organizations that demonstrate high artistic[iii] and public impact[iv] while maintaining sound organizational resiliency[v].

A dedicated program for new clients enables Calgary Arts Development to plan for the future more effectively, while at the same time investing in organizations that often represent the next generation of artistic practice. The program also serves as a knowledge-building exercise for CADA, enhancing the ability to measure and communicate the impact of the arts on the long-term success of Calgary.
