Project Grant Program – Organizations (deadline: 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 to attract, restore and retain jobs for artists and arts professionals.
• Projects that support organizational development or strengthen the organization’s ability to connect with their 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 $25,000. Total funding available for this program is $600,000.
