Impressive New Grant Software Available for BC Alliance Members—Join Now 

Anyone who writes grants is sure to be as impressed as we are with Grant Advance <https://www.grantadvance.com/>. We’re so excited by it that we've partnered with the company to offer 10 free licences to BC Alliance members with budgets under $150,000 and significant discounts for all other members.

Grant Advance makes virtually every aspect of the grant process easier. With its database of every single Canadian foundation, trust, or corporation that has given away funds in the past 10 years, it helps you find the funders that suit your cause. It provides up-to-date contacts and names of board members and graphs that show how much the funder gives annually and to whom. Then Grant Advance helps you generate a Letter of Inquiry, Grant Proposal, and Budget. With your master documents complete, you can auto-generate custom applications for all the funders it finds for you. 

RECENT USER FEEDBACK

“A rich source of funding opportunities for the arts.”

“Easy to navigate, full of information and tools to make grant writing a streamlined function in a way I hadn't imagined! Well done.”

“The features that we find most valuable are the templates to create Grant Proposals and Letters of Inquiry, as well as a system to track which foundations are most suitable for specific programs based on their giving history.” 


“We have sent out 55 letters in our first mailing asking for $1000 to be utilized by our kitchen program. We received 2 responses with $1000 each and one with $3000. We also have had 2 requests for more information which we have already sent out and are now pending approval. This is very exciting for us…”

Private foundations award billions of dollars per year to charities and non-profits in Canada—money that you could easily miss out on if you aren't in the know. This 2 hour workshop will focus on foundations that support arts organizations in BC, industry-standard document preparation, establishing key funding partnerships, and the development of strategic annual grant funding campaigns.  The BC Alliance for Arts + Culture partners with Grant Advance Solutions to host this free information session. 

More about Grant Advance Solutions: “Incorporated in 2014 Grant Advance has grown from a core group of 3 co-founders to a corporation with over 15 employees and more than 800 Canada-wide non-profit partners.  Our goal? To make grant funding a genuine opportunity for any non-profit that is committed to making a difference in their world."
