June 6th: Grants, Mentorship Programs and Pitch Competitions
You have nothing to lose but so much to gain when you put yourself out there.
Hey there! You may have noticed that we are creating unique “playlists” that cater to specific demographics and interests.
I hope these lists help you discover funding opportunities that are more specific to your craft.
Here are the two playlists we’ve created so far. Stay tuned because we have more in the works!
Funding for women-owned businesses with no deadlines (we’ve added an additional grant — #9, so check out the updated list)
If you haven’t yet completed our Grants For Creators survey please do, so we know what to look for in the future.
