Grants For Creators is now on LinkedIn (well kind of...) - Preview Grants with February 2024 Deadlines

Two years ago, I launched a newsletter on Substack to share funding opportunities I discovered while searching for grants to support my creative work. While I wasn't quite sure where that road would lead me, I'm excited to share that today, we crossed the 6,000 newsletter subscribers mark.

To celebrate this milestone, as well as Black History Month, I'm bringing my beloved newsletter to LinkedIn.

Every month, I'll share a handful of funding opportunities right here, so I encourage you to subscribe to this LinkedIn newsletter and share it with a friend, colleague, or family member.

However, for the full experience and access to over 100 grants we've hunted down each month, I invite you to join the paid version of Grants For Creators, which supports my small team of grant administrators who pour hours into research and keeping this resource in tip-top shape.

Without further ado, here are the funding opportunities you should know about for February 2024.
