Grants Roundup: Deadlines for the Week of May 15
SCAC Deadlines and Coaching Opportunities
Though not the only way, grants are among the main ways the SCAC accomplishes its work.
Because of their importance to that, and what they mean to so many of you, The Hub wants to help keep Arts Commission grants top-of-mind and reduce the number of times we hear people say, "If only we'd known about (X or Y) grant!"
We can't reach everybody, but we can try. On Mondays*, "Grants Roundup" highlights:
- what grants are due that week, then what's due later (in increments) before
- providing a rundown on open grant opportunities and then
- upcoming grants coaching sessions.
*The Roundup might run on Tuesdays when state holidays occur on a Monday.
A note to readers
With the ABC Advancement grants deadline tomorrow, we have arrived at the quiet time of year where FY23 is ending and we must eagerly await a new fiscal year (July 1) and the reopening of grant applications. Given that, there is no need for a weekly Grants Roundup until July. The Roundup will restart when it has pertinent and timely information to share. Happy summer!
