Camp Denman

    Grant Engine

    AI-powered tools to help fund your creative work

    Navigating Canadian arts funding is overwhelming. Hundreds of grants across federal, provincial, and municipal programs — each with different eligibility rules, deadlines, and application formats. Camp Denman's Grant Engine is being built to simplify that entire process.

    What We're Building

    The Grant Engine is an AI-powered toolkit that will help creators discover relevant grants, build compelling applications, generate professional support materials, and track every deadline. It's being vibe-coded in-house — a real example of the kind of tool we teach creators to build at camp.

    01

    Discover

    Browse curated Canadian arts funding opportunities matched to your discipline, province, and project type.

    02

    Build

    Use our guided builder to craft compelling grant applications with AI-assisted writing for each section.

    03

    Generate

    Create professional cover letters, letters of support, and budget breakdowns tailored to each grant.

    04

    Track

    Stay on top of submission windows with our deadline dashboard and never miss a funding opportunity.

    Current Status

    The Grant Engine is in active development. The eligibility wizard and deadline dashboard are being built now. Some features may be incomplete or in beta. We're building this in the open — check back regularly for updates, and if you hit a bug, let us know.

    This tool is free for all Camp Denman applicants and campers. We're building it because we believe access to funding shouldn't require a grant writer.
