Program Purpose

Grant Writing Hangouts are facilitated co-working time where MoHA staff, artists, community organizers, and grant writers share space, eat snacks, and work together on applications for grant funding.

Hangouts are usually organized around a single grant deadline. Participants have an opportunity to discuss the guidelines and share their own proposals for feedback from the group.

We try to host hangouts for as many City arts and music grant deadlines as possible. Our timeline for scheduling these hangouts is dependent on when the City of Austin announces the grants, and may be made with short notice. In 2023, our grant writing hangouts resulted in $1.4 Million in funding awarded to attendees with 80% being first-time grant applicants!
