Grants Roundup: Deadlines for the Week of Jan. 30
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.
Note to readers
After morning publication on Jan. 30, the SCAC opened three arts learning grant opportunities: one that afternoon and two additional ones the morning of Jan. 31. This post has been amended to reflect those additions.-Ed.
