Vol. 60: Grant Club Returns! + 90-day Grants Outlook
Today’s Feature: Grant Club!
We're back with another edition of Bustling Spaces Grant Club, Thursday April 9th from 6:30 - 8:30PM
Next Thursday, join us at our 2nd co-working session of the year and get guidance, tools, and perspective as you chart your course to funding your next project, your next event, your organization or collective.
Our featured grant for this session will be CityArts, a grant program offered annually by the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE) providing general operating support for 501(c)(3) nonprofits operating in artistic disciplines, in arts service, or as museums.
We'll give a preview of the opportunity with Q&A, and give you tips to get prepared in advance so that when the application window opens, you’ll be ready.
We’re also excited to welcome Megan Lewis of Arts Alliance IL to Grant Club!
Megan coordinates Arts Alliance IL’s Help Desk, which provides support for CityArts and other funding opportunities, and she’ll be facilitating a breakout room for First-time grant seekers.
