A New Grant For Creators In Animation, Film, TV, Comics & Graphic Novels!
The ONWARD GRANT offers creators in animation, film, TV, comics and graphic novels an opportunity to move forward in their creative endeavors. The ONWARD GRANT provides recipients with up to $5K in unrestricted funds, introductions to industry mentors, and an array of professional resources from grant sponsors.
The ONWARD GRANT was developed to support creatives as they advance in their creative careers and to bridge the opportunity gap for a more equitable creative world. If you have a story to tell, a creative idea to develop, or an existing project that needs to level up, this grant is for you!
Grant applications will be evaluated based on the project submission. One project in each of the four categories will be selected by a panel of industry professionals. ONWARD GRANT applications are open now and close on August 2nd. Grant recipients will be announced in September.
The ONWARD GRANT is made possible by the generous support of our sponsors: Women In Animation, Toon Boom, Final Draft, and the Independent Film Alliance.
