Greetings from GCA's Director

It’s hard to believe that we are already at the mid-point of the state’s fiscal year. It has been a busy and productive six months for the staff of Georgia Council for the Arts filled with new goals and new accomplishments. The transition to the Georgia Department of Economic Development has been seamless and we are hard at work with multiple projects that will benefit the entire state.

Grant Writing Tips

Preparing a grant application can be stressful. Each funding organization has different requirements, policies and procedures. However, some information is always the same... Submitting information on time, double checking for errors and being honest in the narrative are just a few examples of common practices required by all funders.
