Future Focus Program │ Calgary Arts Development:

November 1, 2024

Value

There is a total of $400,000 available through the program in 2024.

Description

The Future Focus Program provides funding to arts organizations to explore a key question or challenge facing their organization and develop directions for their operations that diverge from previous or current practice in response. Organizations may be asking themselves questions about their organizational purpose, their role in the arts sector, their continued viability, or how they need to adapt their structure or approach to operate into the future. The program supports organizations through the process of investigating, identifying, planning and executing significant and strategic adaptations in their operations.

Eligible Applicants

  • Arts organizations operating in the Treaty 7 region (including Red Deer), that are registered charities or not-for-profits, or arts-based organizations that have comparable organizational structures.
  • Organizations cannot be receiving project support from any of the three partner funders individually for the same work.

Eligible Expenses

Grant amounts available are based on the nature of the work to be undertaken.

  • Exploration Phase (identification of needs, initial development, project planning): Funding request generally up to $15,000
  • Implementation Phase: Funding request generally up to $25,000

Deadline Date

February 16, 2024; May 17, 2024; August 16, 2024; November 1, 2024
