I've secured over $500,000 in grant funding for Canadian artists.

I can help you do the same.

"As an audio engineer and producer, I worked with many artists who had incredible talent but limited resources to achieve their vision. I learned to navigate the world of music grants to help remove that financial barrier, and now I empower artists like you to do the same."

FAQ

Once we've qualified that you are eligible for funding, absolutely! We just need some simple information from you to proceed, which you can provide by completing this form.

Yes, absolutely! If you're a label, please reach out so we can discuss how we can help you and your roster of artists.

Every grant is different but generally, most will fund activities such as:

  • sound recording
  • music video production
  • marketing & promotion
  • radio marketing
  • website development
  • touring & performing
  • limited physical manufacturing (CD's, vinyl)

 

All Canadian grants must be spent exclusively in Canada and not on any foreign expenses. Depending on where the grant comes from, you will be required to exclusively spend it in that community. For example, Ontario Arts Council grants must be spent in Ontario only. 

 

Keep in mind that some grants may not fund all of these activities. We can let you know more specifics once we've qualified you for funding.

Yes, I can help you if you live in another province outside of Ontario. Most organizations, such as FACTOR and Canada Council for the Arts, will fund creators anywhere in Canada. Depending on the province you're from, you may have access to grants that people in Ontario don't.

As long as you're based in Canada and are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, we can help you with grants. Whether you live in British Columbia, Nova Scotia or somewhere in between, click here to begin the process with us.

This depends on how many grants we are applying to and what is required of each.

 

Often this is a combination of an upfront fee plus a back-end percentage of the grant winnings to continue working with you throughout the project and to complete the final report. Failure to do the latter may result in an organization taking back the funding (in other words, the grant becomes a loan and you pay it back with interest!) We work with you to avoid this and help you keep 100% of the funding.

 

We can outline the specific fees once we know exactly what you are qualified to apply to. Please reach out so we can assist with this.

No, not usually. Most people make this mistake - but grants do not fund capital expenditures. In other words, they don't allow you to buy things that you will keep and use beyond the scope of the project, including equipment or property.

 

Grants are intended to stimulate and subsidize the community the funding comes from. This means using the money to pay individuals such as producers, engineers, artists, studios and more to create a body of work.

 

Business grants, bursaries and loans may be more suitable to buying equipment, however, we only focus on music grants at this time.
