There are many resources available when you're looking for a grant

Orana Arts staff can provide advice and support. Contact us for information on current funding opportunities and assistance with applications.

There's a wide range of grants open at different times of the year for all kinds of activities. If you find a fund that matches your project but you've missed the deadline for this round, take note of the submission date and have your project proposal ready to submit when the fund re-opens.

Remember, success in applying for grants take practice. Its always good to discuss your project with the funding manager before submitting your application. If your application is unsuccessful its a good idea to seek feedback from the funding body to find out why. This will help you to write a successful application in the future.
