YOUR REAL ODDS

This is a rolling deadline program, meaning you can apply at any time rather than competing in a single annual cohort.

TAC may fund up to 100% of the requested amount, which is more generous than many grant programs. No win-rate data is published, but the rolling format reduces the pile-up of competition typical of fixed deadlines.

WHAT IT TAKES

  1. Confirm eligibility and choose a category (Creation & Development or Presentation) — 1–2 hours

  2. Build your project budget and identify any other revenue sources if your request is below total project cost — 2–4 hours

  3. Complete application in TAC Grants Online, including mentorship selection if desired — 3–6 hours

  4. Submit at least 4 months before your project start date — Ongoing — rolling deadline

WORTH KNOWING

Adding a mentorship component increases your maximum grant by $5,000 in both categories (up to $15,000 for Creation & Development, up to $20,000 for Presentation), so it's worth considering even if mentorship isn't your primary goal.
