Funding Opportunities from Arts Funding Watch

One of my favorite publications is from the Foundation Center. It's called "Arts Funding Watch," a newsletter devoted to arts-related topics. You should subscribe. Go here.

Here are some highlights from the September issue, their deadlines are soon, and check the Foundation Center website for more. If you're serious about pursuing some grant money, it's worth doing a month's membership online to collect info. Or, use one of their 450 free funding information centers in libraries and nonprofit organization across the U.S. and in seven other countries.
