Guidelines Released: Project Grant Program – Organizations
We are pleased to release the full guidelines for the Project Grant Program – Organizations for 2024. Applications open on May 20, 2024, and the deadline to apply is July 3, 2024.
This program is intended to provide one-time project funding to registered non-profit arts organizations in Calgary (known as Mohkinsstsis in Blackfoot). The Project Grant Program seeks to support projects that align with any of the following priority areas:
- Projects that reflect and contribute to the vibrancy and vitality of Calgary’s arts sector and create opportunities for Calgarians to access artistic experiences.
- Projects that create opportunities for your organization to attract, restore and retain jobs for artists and arts professionals.
- Projects that support your organization’s development or strengthens your ability to connect with your community.
- Arts-centred projects that encourage everyday creativity, including cross-sector collaboration, creative economy and neighbourhood-level community initiatives.
Organizations may apply for up to $30,000. Total funding available for this program is $700,000.
Applications for this program open May 20, 2024 and close July 3, 2024.
How to Apply
We accept applications through an online grant platform. If your organization does not already have an account with us, you will need to create an account and fill out your organization’s profile before you can apply. If the organization’s primary contact also has an individual artist profile, they must use a different email address to create the organization’s account.
The application form for this program will become available on the online grant platform on May 20, 2024. You will find it under ‘Open Opportunities’ when you login.
Please contact grants@calgaryartsdevelopment.com for help with any questions or technical issues.
