Grants Roundup – Deadlines for the week of Feb. 12
Happy Monday!
Though far from the only thing, grants are certainly among the main things we do here. And because of their importance in our work, and what they mean to so many of you, The Hub wants to help keep Arts Commission grants on everyone’s radars. Grants are merit and/or need based. They are not for a select few. Every last person at SCAC takes seriously the role of being a steward of public funding, which is appropriated to go right back out from where it came to make lives better.
So to that end, The Hub wants to reduce the instances of people telling us, “If only we’d known about X grant!” We can’t reach everybody, but we can try. Introducing another new regular post series, “Grants Roundup,” which joins fellow newbie “Tuning Up” here. Start looking for it Mondays of weeks with deadlines (even state holiday Mondays). We’ll highlight first what grants are due that week and then include what’s on the horizon.
This week
These are to serve mainly as final reminders. Most grant applications simply cannot be undertaken well in this short a time frame. Consult your county coordinator with questions!
- Thursday, Feb. 15: Quarterly Project Grants (for organizations | for artists)
- Thursday, Feb. 15: Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Initiative (This is a contact deadline, not an application deadline. Click the link to learn more.)
Next week
- Thursday, Feb. 23: General Operating Support for Organizations Grant (this is a big deal, providing unrestricted operating support to S.C. arts organizations)
Next 30(ish)
- Thursday, March 15: Folklife and Traditional Arts Grants
Important Notes
- You are encouraged to also consult the SCAC deadline page for up-to-date information on all grant deadlines (subject to change) and deadlines for non-grant programs.
- Next steps: your SCAC county coordinator should be your point of contact for advisement and guidance on all grants.
