Woodcock Fund | Writers’ Trust of Canada

none

Value

$2,000 – $12,000

Description

The Woodcock Fund is a quick-access emergency resource for Canadian writers. It is a lifeline to many with sudden and unforeseen financial hardship. The program aims to distribute more than $100,000 each year in grants ranging from $2,000 to $12,000, depending upon the severity of the emergency.

Eligible Applicants

An applicant must be:

  • A professional writer engaged in the production of literary work who previously generated income from writing and writing-related activities.
  • Two books previously published is the minimum requirement.
  • Facing a financial emergency of some kind, such as confronting physical or mental illness, injury, job loss or temporary loss of income, urgent dental issues, separation, or other misfortune. Emergencies stemming from caretaking responsibilities are also eligible. Applicants should demonstrate that this one-time grant will be meaningful in helping them stabilize or alleviate their situation.
  • A Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
  • Actively working on a literary project of some kind.

Eligible Expenses

They are intended to provide a short-term financial bridge for applicants to assist them through a hard period. The size of the grant is determined by the individual circumstances of the writer. Grants typically range between $2,000 – $12,000 and are given with no strings attached. In evaluating an applicant’s needs, the program will consider all legitimate expenditures relating to an applicant’s professional work, personal living, and medical expenses. It is recommended that applicant’s provide a rationale behind the amount of their request rather than seeking the maximum allowable.

Deadline Date

Applications accepted throughout the year.
