Money to you
- If you have not received an operating grant from us, from CADA before, please note that you have an additional step to go through before getting access to the full application.
- If you are a new applicant, which means you did not submit an LOI last year, which is in 2025, and you have never received an operating grant from CADA, you will find the Letter of Intent in the Open Opportunities section in the granting...
Also mentioned
- This program provides unrestricted operating funding to registered non-profit professional arts organizations in Calgary.
- This program, as you heard earlier, provides unrestricted operating funding for years 2027 to 2030 for non-profit professional arts organizations in Calgary.
- So again, you’re going to get so tired of me saying this, be specific.
- I do strongly recommend reaching out to a program specialist to discuss your funding request, especially if you wish to request an amount that is getting close to that 25 per cent increase or that is outside of our general guidance.
