"Just keep going. You never know how far you can go." - Gunna
Hey creators!
I hope you’re enjoying the Ask Me Anything series, where in Part 1, we tackled how an abundance mindset can lead to finding more opportunities, and in Part 2, I shared tips for finding grants.
Congratulations to Janina, who won a $25,000 grant spotted in this newsletter! Wow!!!! We are so happy for you, Janina, and thank you for subscribing to Grants For Creators.
Also, a special thank you to Kwameh F. for sharing many opportunities with this community. We appreciate you! You’re a grant-finding whiz!
This week’s newsletter features (33) opportunities ranging from $500 to $50,000. Funding is also available for residents in Denver (Colorado), New York City, Oklahoma, Massachusetts, Chicago, Texas, Oakland (California), Rhode Island, and more.
To access this entire list (and archives) we invite you to become a paid subscriber. Your support helps us further our mission of helping 1,000 creators find and win grants. It also takes us anywhere from 8-15 hours per week to dig up the opportunities shared in one newsletter.
