February 2024 Grant Deadlines now online & changes to Canada Council deadlines
NEW Feb 2024 deadline list now online & check out the revised CCA intakes
Check out my new February 2024 Grant Deadline list posted this morning & also recently updated January 2024 list.
I have also reviewed all the newly posted Canada Council for the Arts intakes/deadlines for the 2024 year, which reveal significant deadline/intake changes for this new year: some programs that previously had no stated deadline now have specific dates; some program ‘composite’ deadlines have switched from fall to the spring; some programs have moved to only a single annual deadline; and it seems they have have completely done away with the ‘cut-off’ intake date process.
So…I recommend everyone to have a look through all the new deadlines/intakes, to plan ahead for the coming year:

One more thing to keep in mind as you plan ahead for your upcoming Canada Council applications, is new changes to their policy regarding annual application limits:
they have removed the annual maximum # of applications you can submit (previously this was 3 total overall);
they have changed to a maximum # of applications per funding program;
changed their annual ‘year’ to Jan 1-Dec 31;
