Organizations
Considering applying for a Trellis Micro-grant for Organizations?
Let’s see if you’re eligible!
Are you a registered nonprofit or charitable arts organization with an NEQ number?
Do you have a mandate specifically focused on the practice of or support for English language arts? Or, if located outside the Greater Montreal area, do you have arts within your mandate and dedicate at least 15% of your annual budget to the practice of English language arts?
Are you committed to outreach, inclusion, and support of Quebec’s English-speaking arts community?
Are you carrying out a one-time activity, implementation of which does not require ongoing funding?
Are your activities entirely conducted within Quebec, even if some international artists are involved?
Do your travel expenses, if any, conform to federal government regulations?
Can you clearly explain how your project supports increasing English-language arts community visibility to the broader Quebec community and/or how your project activities will build bridges between the English and French language communities?
If you answered yes to all those questions, it looks like you’re eligible! Hooray! You can submit a Trellis Micro-grant application requesting up to $25,000.00 for your project. Though, if you answered yes to all except the first two questions, it looks like you’d be better suited applying through the Artist portal. Now, here are some tips as you prepare your application:
Be sure to include activities that demonstrate a strong probability of promoting English-language arts and artists to a wider community, particularly those that reach out to a Francophone audience.
Ascertain your project brings together the English- and French-speaking artists/communities, whether for dialogue, exploratory creative workshops, or production.
Ensure the Trellis Micro-grant will increase your visibility as an artist in both fields and broaden your capacity to carry out promotion and outreach going forward.
Ensure that your budget demonstrates that the project is viable with the resources you have (including requested funds)
