Frequently asked questions

GrantGigs is a curated marketplace of grants, funds, fellowships and contests built specifically for music creators. Instead of digging through dozens of arts-council websites and newsletters, you get one organized database — filterable by region, type and deadline — so you can spend less time hunting for money and more time making music.

We currently track opportunities across the USA, UK, Spain, the Nordics and international programs, with deadlines, prize/support amounts and direct links to apply.

We monitor arts councils, foundations, contests and industry sources on an ongoing basis. Listings are reviewed and tagged so each entry has a clear deadline, region and type — keeping the database fresh and reliable throughout the year.

Opportunities are sorted by soonest deadline, so the money closing next is always at the top.

Independent artists, bands, managers, labels and music-focused nonprofits who need a single source of truth for funding deadlines. Whether you're pitching your first EP, planning a tour, financing a music video, or running community workshops, GrantGigs surfaces opportunities that match where you are in your career.

Free lets you browse what's closing soon — the opportunities with deadlines in roughly the next 30 days. Signed-in free users can also see the direct link to apply, and save up to 10 opportunities to come back to.

Pro unlocks the full funding pipeline: every upcoming grant, fund, fellowship and contest we track — not just what's closing this month. That lets you plan your releases, tours and applications around the money well in advance.

Pro members also get application intelligence — for opportunities approaching their deadline, we research who sits on the jury, what they care about, and what past winning projects looked like, so you can tailor your application instead of guessing. Every insight is sourced from public information.

Pro also removes the save limit and helps you stay ahead of every deadline: unlimited saved opportunities, one-click calendar sync (Google, Apple or Outlook), and deadline reminder emails — one a week before, and one on the day — so nothing slips by.

For opportunities approaching their deadline, our research team prepares a briefing on each listing's page: who reviews your application (jury members, curators, program managers — their backgrounds, interests, and what they've said publicly about selection) and what has won before (past winners, project themes, and patterns across editions).

Everything comes from public sources and is linked so you can verify it. Where we add our own interpretation, it's clearly marked. Briefings are prepared roughly 6–8 weeks before each deadline — while there's still time to shape your application — and are included with Pro.
