The CRD Arts & Culture Support Service has launched a new grant for local artists and arts groups.
The "Grow Forward Grant" pilot program will prioritize the mentorship, planning and capacity-building needs of the region’s not-for-profit arts community.
There will be an information session from 12:30-1:30pm on February 27 for prospective applicants to learn about the new program and get application tips.
In the pilot version of this program, applicants can receive up to $5000 for projects such as:
- Developing mentorships for arts leaders internally or between organizations;
- Shifting business models or organizational structures;
- Strategic partnerships, as well as sectoral or cross-sectoral collaborative initiatives;
- Planning for leadership succession and organizational life cycle questions.
The deadline to apply is 4:30pm March 13.
