The Future Focus Granting Program is a pilot program developed in collaboration with and funded by three partners: Calgary Arts Development, the Rozsa Foundation and the Calgary Foundation.

The program is aimed at supporting arts organizations to investigate, plan, and implement strategic adaptations in their operations to build capacity, strengthen business models, explore new directions, examine structural change and address life cycle questions. Organizations will be asked to speak to how equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility are embedded into this work.

This work may incorporate issues relating to:

• organizational strategy development and planning
• business model evaluation and shifts
• sustained inter-organizational collaborations
• succession planning to transition from founding & longstanding leaders
• explorations of mergers and closures

There is $400,000 available and applications will be accepted until the funds are expended.
