Week of February 21st: Grants, Pitch Competitions and Writing Fellowships
Manifesting fully funded projects in 2022!
Hello there, and Happy Black History Month!
As February comes to a close, many organizations are looking to fund various projects, including YOURS.
This may very well be a record-setting month for the sheer volume of grants I’ve seen come across my desk. Phew!
As always, I recommend carving out time to review which grants you plan to apply for and work on your applications (batching if time permits).
Here are (16) opportunities (yes, you heard that right).
Good luck, and please share this newsletter with at least one friend.
If you have a free GFC newsletter subscription, now could be a good time to upgrade to get full access to past, present, and future newsletters (and support all the work that goes into finding all of these incredible but sometimes hard to find opportunities).
