Find your funding

SmartGrant is an interactive online tool designed for British Columbia artists and arts & cultural organizations to identify grant and funding sources. Through a comprehensive yet easy-to-use interface, SmartGrant connects you to hundreds of potential funding sources that uniquely match your creative projects & plans. Let SmartGrant find the resources that reflect who you are, where you work, and what you do.

Intuitive & Affordable

Reach your creative potential

While arts funding information is widely available online, navigating these sources can be challenging for those who lack the time, capacity or expertise. And as grant programs become more competitive and their guidelines more complex, this creates even further barriers for applicants. Through an easy-to-use platform, SmartGrant interprets and simplifies funders’ guidelines into an individually tailored resource. SmartGrant creates results that are unique to you, and yet affordable for all.
