What we offer
Funding Made Simple for Canadian Musicians
At Grants For Musicians, we do more than just help you fill out applications — we partner with you to unlock the full power of Canada’s music grant system. Whether you’re an emerging artist or an experienced creative ready to scale your vision, we offer done-for-you services that eliminate confusion, reduce overwhelm, and increase your chances of getting funded. From writing high-converting grant applications to building standout artist profiles and EPKs, we provide the tools and support you need to grow your career — without the debt, the guesswork, or the burnout.
Our team specializes in crafting compelling, fundable applications that speak the language of grant reviewers. We handle the research, writing, and submission of your grant — making sure every detail is aligned with what funders want to see. Whether it’s for recording, touring, or promotion, we know how to turn your vision into a winning proposal.
Before you can apply for most Canadian grants, you need a validated artist profile on platforms like FACTOR, Canada Council for the Arts, and SOCAN. We take care of setting up these profiles correctly — including writing bios, assembling your CV, and uploading support materials — so you’re ready to apply without delays or rejections.
Funders want to see that you know exactly how their money will be spent — and that you’re thinking long-term. We build detailed, funder-approved budget sheets and strategic marketing plans that boost your chances of approval. These aren’t just numbers — they’re proof that you’re ready to take your music career seriously.
Your Electronic Press Kit (EPK) is more than a portfolio — it’s your first impression. We create modern, high-impact EPKs that showcase your music, story, media coverage, and visuals in a way that resonates with both funders and the wider music industry. It’s not just about looking good — it’s about standing out.
One grant is just the beginning. We help you build a career strategy that leverages smaller grants (like travel or artist development) into larger awards over time. Each successful application builds your credibility and opens the door to more funding, better collaborations, and bigger opportunities down the road.
From choosing the right grant to tracking deadlines and preparing your final report — we’re with you at every stage. No more feeling overwhelmed or confused by complicated guidelines and technical jargon. We simplify the entire process so you can focus on what matters most: making music.
