SUMMARY:Call to Artists: Dance Work For Young Audiences (Sursaut)
DESCRIPTION:The Sursaut Dance Company is looking for dance artists with a project to create a work for young audiences\, that could be produced within the framework of the company. \nFounded in Sherbrooke in 1985\, the Sursaut Dance Company is dedicated to the creation of choreographic works for young and family audiences. The company’s works are disseminated in Canada and abroad. \nOne of the few companies situated outside the major urban centers\, Sursaut ensures the presence of professional dance in its region and participates in the decentralization of arts and culture. Sherbrooke is a mid-sized city located in the Eastern Townships region of Quebec. The city is a regional hub and university center\, with an urban population of 212\,000 inhabitants. Strongly anchored in its milieu\, the company’s presence and work make Sherbrooke an important center for dance creation for children and youth. \nPROJECTS WE ARE LOOKING FOR:\nThe choreographic projects must meet the following criteria: \n\nHave a minimum of two performers\nThe body\, movement\, and dance\, must be at the heart of the creation\nThe projected choreographic work must be a minimum of 25 minutes in length\n\nAs a first step in the process\, three projects will be selected for a short residency of one or two weeks. Following the residencies\, one of the projects will be chosen to be produced by the company. \nWHAT THE COMPANY OFFERS:\n\nWorking space\, a studio at the Centre des arts de la scène Jean Besré\, in Sherbrooke (Quebec);\nTechnical support and two of the company’s dancers;\n$2000 for additional expenses incurred by the artist in the context of the residency.\n\nCALENDAR:\n\nDeadline for submitting projects: November 30\, 2020\nSelection of projects: December 2020\nVirtual meeting with the artists whose projects are retained and planning of the residencies: February 2021\nResidencies: May to November 2021\nSelection of the project that will be produced: December 2021\nCreation and production of the chosen project: beginning in March 2022\nPremiere of the new creation: autumn 2022 or spring 2023.\n\nThe financial conditions for the production will be determined by the nature of the project that is chosen. \nHOW TO SUBMIT A PROJECT:\nSend your curriculum vitæ\, a description of the proposed choreographic project\, as well as audiovisual support material from your professional career\, to Francine Châteauvert\, Artistic Director and General Manager\, at fchateauvert@sursaut.ca before 5:00 p.m.\, Thursday\, November 30\, 2020. \nFOR MORE INFORMATION: www.sursaut.ca

SUMMARY:ECF Funding: Community Grant Program
DESCRIPTION:The right funding opportunity is waiting for you with ECF’s Community Grant Program — all you have to do is apply. \nAS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION\, you have specific funding needs. We support charities in the Edmonton area across many sectors\, including: \n\nHuman Services\nArts & Culture\nEducation\nEnvironment & Animal Welfare\nHealth\nSports & Recreation\n\nThe Community Grants program can support a wide range of organizational needs. We look to organizations to determine their priority areas. If you would like to discuss your organizational needs\, start with a phone call to the Edmonton Community Foundation (ECF) to discuss the online application process and eligibility requirements. \nEligibility\nCommunity Grants aim to support our community. A non-profit is eligible to apply if it serves the greater Edmonton area\, including Leduc County\, Parkland County\, Strathcona County\, and Sturgeon County. The non-profit must also have a charitable registration number from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) or be considered a qualified donee. \nIf you are not a registered charity but wish to apply for funding\, you can consider the following options: \n\nMake a formal application to CRA to become a registered charity.\nEstablish a written partnership with a registered charity that would apply for funds for the proposed project. CRA recommends that the relationship between the registered charity and the non-charitable organization be formalized and documented. Click here to visit CRA’s website for more details. Note that the opportunity to apply with a charitable partner is not meant to allow groups to circumvent CRA rules\, but rather to support genuine partnerships between charities and non-profits.\n\nApplying for a Community Grant\nIf you don’t have a recent relationship with us (successfully received a Community Grant in the last five years)\, your organization can apply for a grant up to approximately (see note) $50\,000. If you’ve worked with ECF recently (successful Community Grant approved\, completed and reported on)\, you can apply for a grant up to approximately (see note) $80\,000. \nNote: We will consider amounts slightly above these limits when there is a strong rationale. \nECF’s Two-Stage Process\nWe use a two-stage process that includes a preliminary online application\, followed by a full proposal\, if requested. This process is meant to assist applicants. For projects that are unlikely to receive funding for any reason\, it prevents the applicant organization from dedicating time and resources to a full proposal that will not be successful. It also allows our staff the chance to raise questions in the Request for Proposal letter\, helping to strengthen the final proposal\, which is reviewed by one of five sub-committees. \nPlease note: Attachments such as letters of support\, financial statements\, or testimonials are not required during the first stage. If we need more information\, we will contact the applicant. \nWhen to Submit\nWe encourage you to apply early! We have a continual intake of preliminary applications with quarterly deadlines depending on when funding is required. This allows us to review each on its own merit and respond promptly with questions and feedback. There are more opportunities to provide support for charities that apply early. This also gives you more time to write a strong proposal. We do not provide retroactive funding. \nThe annual deadlines to submit an online application are: \n\nMarch 1 for funding after June 1 (applications available December 2)\nJune 1 for funding  after September 1 (application available March 2)\nSeptember 1 for funding after December 1 (application available June 2)\nDecember 1 for funding  after March 1 (application available September 2)\n\nFor more information about Community Grants\, contact our staff at grants@ecfoundation.org or by phone at 780-426-0015. \nApply for a Community Grant\n\n\nGrant Application FAQ

SUMMARY:2021 EAC Investment in Organizations (Sustain)
DESCRIPTION:In late October\, the Edmonton Arts Council published guidelines for two new investment streams – Sustain and Activate – programs that will direct a degree of stable and flexible funding for arts and festival organizations in 2021. The Sustain and Activate pillars are both related to investments in organizations in the short-and medium-term. Those processes are described in the document below\, including guidelines\, dates\, and requirements. \nA third stream – Invent & Adapt – will provide tools\, resources\, and potential investments to enable organizational structures\, governance and business models for the future. Guidelines for this stream are coming soon. \nThe EAC will make investments to sustain operations\, foster artistic and organizational resilience and facilitate dialogue to build organizational innovation and readiness for a gradual return to a wide range of artistic activities. \n2021 Sustain \nThe intent is to assist organizations with ongoing costs\, in particular related to engagement of artists and arts professionals. This baseline investment will help maintain organizational capacity through this irregular period. \nApplication Deadline: December 1\, 2020 \n>> Click here to download the Sustain guidelines.
