Bonjour from Paris!
For July, find (94) grants and funding opportunities, including grants for small businesses, filmmakers, writers and authors, poets, nonprofits, and more.
We will continuously keep this list updated with any other awards we find so bookmark www.grantsforcreators.com to stay in the know.
Plus, if you haven’t had a chance to review all the updates from June’s newsletter, please do so because there are now 93 awards, all due before June 30th.
My advice for making the most of this newsletter is to review our monthly newsletter, highlighting the opportunities you want to look more into.
Paying special attention to the due dates, add time on your calendar to work on each application: Block off anywhere from 1-3 hours depending on the number of questions found on the application, the application difficulty like video requirement, and your ability to repurpose boiler template.
If you’re open to using AI grant writing tools, Grantable has quickly become my favorite go-to resource. I had the chance to interview the co-founder, Philip Deng, on my travel and personal finance podcast, The Thought Card.
