Here are 24 of the Newest Funding and Residency Opportunities for People in the Arts. Directions for writing a grant and several lists of other available grants are available under the resource links and archives on the right side of this page. Don't forget that funders often MUST give out their money to worthy applicants to keep their non-profit status, so apply to one or more of these organizations. Be sure to sign up as a follower and check back often. If anyone has any ideas on how to have updates on this blog automatically be sent to you, let me know. We are continuously contacting and scouting out opportunities for you to look through and will be adding to this blog as we get information. Good luck to all of you, and thanks for your notes and comments. I am very glad this has been useful to so many of you.
