August 2024 Deadline List & Summer Updates...
Check out the latest grant deadlines now available online
Happy summer everyone…hope you are all enjoying these long sunny days. Winny and I have been enjoy our morning walks along the ocean, here in Gibsons.
Just wanted to let folks know that I have published my August grant deadline lists for your reading pleasure.
As usual, August is a ‘quieter’ month for grant deadlines, but there are a few key programs you may want to take advantage of:
Vancouver Foundation: LEVEL BIPOC Grants (2024 deadline: opens July 15; closes Aug 15)
BC Gaming (Capital Projects Grants) (2024 deadline: opens June 17, closes Aug 15)
Canada Council Arts Across Canada: Public Outreach (Project Grants) (2024 Deadlines: Mar 27 & Aug 21)
As I posted about yesterday…I have been spending much of my summer working on my new online grant database project SmartGrant.ca. The work is coming along really well, and I am grateful for all the support of the developers (Serious Otters), my designer (Found Creative) and other partners (you know who you are!) who have been invaluable in making it come to fruition.
Its been a number of weeks of crafting the structure of the site, especially coming up with a comprehensive (yet hopefully understandable) way of categorizing grant programs’ funding focus…all of which will become the ‘heart’ of the site’s powerful search function.
And soon I will be digging into the (huge!) job of collecting and updating all of my grant program data, to get it ready for its eventual move to the new site this fall.
All that to say…I am going to take a little time off from Little Dog in August, so I can dig into building SmartGrant & get it ready for its fall launch (which I am hoping will happen by/in October).
So I will be off from Friday, August 3 until Monday, August 19.
I will be checking my Little Dog email during that time, just not as frequently.
