Peer Review Grant Writing Groups #2 with Heather Mace

Are you dreaming of launching a new arts program or class? Or maybe you want further training in your artistic discipline or bring an arts activity to the masses? It might be time for you to apply for a grant. 

With a deep understanding of the complexities of grant writing, we are happy to introduce our new Peer Review Grant Writing Groups (GWG) for 2016. There will be 4 different sessions throughout the year for a maximum of five group representatives or individual artists to share a current or past grant application with a grant writing expert who will provide feedback, tips and best practices in an inclusive group environment.

This program is open to all paid OAC members at no cost, and to non-profits or artists outside of the OAC membership for a small fee of $25.

Here is how it will work:

1. Interested participants will review available session dates and grant lead bios, choose the session in which they would like to participate and register through the OAC website by the given deadline. Non-OAC members must pay online at this time.

2. The OAC will approve registrant participation and forward a confidentiality agreement to be signed and sent back. Only 5 groups or individuals will be represented at each session.

3. Participants will send the grant lead their grant application of choice two weeks before the session begins for experts to review (reminders will be sent out). *If there is any information that you are not comfortable sharing with the grant lead in your grant application, or you do not want shared with the peers during the session, please indicate so with your grant lead at that time*

4. The Grant Expert Lead and participants will gather at QEPCCC. The grant lead will bring all reviewed grants with comments to the session and provide commentary in the group session and create discussion for the peers to participate in on the various grants
