If you’re new here, welcome!

Grants For Creators is a reader-supported newsletter that shares grants and other funding opportunities for creatives, small business owners, and entrepreneurs within the United States.

Grants or “free money with strings attached” exist and can support your creative pursuits. However, finding funding opportunities isn’t easy. With a simple Google search, you’ll find a lot of expired grants, non-creative-focused grants, and funding announcements. You can waste precious time researching with little to show for it.

Our small team of former professional grant administrators turned creative entrepreneurs spend dozens of hours scouring the web every week, so you don’t have to.

Creators should receive the funding they need to impact their communities and, ultimately, change the world. We hope our resource makes the research task 10 times easier.

Good luck!
