Your one-stop source for arts grant information in British Columbia*.
Let SmartGrant find the ideal funding for your arts & cultural project.
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 and plans. Let SmartGrant find the resources that reflect who you are, where you work, and what you do.
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.
Complete your unique artist or organization profile, then select the type of funding you need from a detailed list of options. With SmartGrant, you’ll only receive grant programs that match your eligibility and project parameters. Then through our innovative Grant Planner, you can save searches and plan your applications, keeping you organized and optimizing your grant strategy – so you never miss another deadline.
*Note: At the current time, SmartGrant has been created to serve British Columbia-based artists and arts organizations – although the database includes grant programs that are available to applicants from across Canada.Â
We have plans for future expansion of SmartGrant into other provinces – sign up for our newsletter to stay informed of future developments.Â
