The Foundation For Canadian Comedy is happy to announce the launch of the 3rd annual CANCOM Comedy Grant program. The CANCOM Comedy Grant program was established in 2022 and is the first-ever national grant that supports the full scope of comedy work created by Canadian comedians, and is adjudicated by comedians. Since inception, this unique, privately funded comedy grant program has provided over $40,000 in support to more than 60 artists and nineteen projects.
The CANCOM Comedy Grant program supports artistic growth by funding original comedy projects by Canadian comedians who have never been able to apply for national arts grants as comedians.
Eligible applicants can apply for up to $2,000.
The grant total currently available is $11,000.
Application deadline: August 30th, 2024
