Early Stage Project Grant

Starting a new project can sometimes be a daunting task. Producers and developers often have many ideas and need support to get a new idea off the ground, or just to try something new before taking it to the next stage.

The Early Stage Project Grant program helps cover costs during the initial phases of a project. The goal is to increase activity leading to a positive impact to the local economy and provide support to move new ideas forward. Example activities include script development, character art, prototyping, grant writing.
