Open Grant Policy

Open Grant Policy

As of January 2024, grantees may not have more than two open grants with Calgary Arts Development, including grants for which a deadline extension has been approved.

This policy applies to organizations, collectives and individual artists. This policy does not include having an Operating Grant, or any open projects in Public Art programs.

An ‘open grant’ refers to a grant where the applicant has not yet completed their project and submitted their final report to Calgary Arts Development. If you have two open grants (i.e., two grants with outstanding final reports, or any grants with overdue/late reports) at the time of the program deadline, then you will not be eligible to apply.

This policy ensures that grantees that receive funding from Calgary Arts Development complete their projects promptly as outlined in their applications and project timelines. It also helps to ensure that we can continue to address the volume and diversity of applicants and invest money in the widest community.

A request for an exception to this eligibility requirement must be submitted and approved through discussion with the program specialist for the specific program being applied to.

Please reach out to grants@calgaryartsdevelopment.com or the program specialist if you have questions or concerns about this policy.
