Accelerate pilot program now open!

Categories: Access Equity Funding Indigenous Priorities

In August, we announced a new program for equity-deserving and regional arts and culture organizations and collectives that that built on the priorities of Extending Foundations.

The Accelerate program is now accepting applications!

This is a two-year initiative to improve access and reduce barriers to funding for eligible equity-deserving and regional organizations and collectives. Funding is intended to offer stability while being flexible in supporting a range of expenses related to:

  • general operating costs,
  • organizational development,
  • capacity building
  • project expenses related to artistic growth, development, production, exhibition, and/or dissemination activities.

Download the program guidelines for full information about eligibility, how to apply, grant amounts and more on the Accelerate program page.

Applications are currently being accepted until November 15, 2022.
