Applying for a grant requires skill, creativity, and research. A good place to start your research is the Foundation Center Grantspace website.
The Foundation Center is the leading source of information about philanthropy worldwide, and the resources offered through Grantspace help individuals gain access to available grants, fellowships, and awards.
The Grantspace Knowledge Base section is a great first step. Here you'll find answers to questions like "Where can I find a grant?" or "How do I prepare a budget for an art project?" Another excellent resource is Grant Seeker Basics for Individuals in the Arts, a webinar on how to find grants, work with fiscal agents, and create great proposals.
You might consider subscribing to the Grantspace service. There are different subscription levels that can help you identify appropriate grant opportunities around the country.
