Mississauga Arts Council’s (MAC) MicroGrant Program provides funding to individual artists to support the creation and presentation of their impactful projects. These MicroGrants target areas of interest or needs within the local arts sector and have been catalysts for collaboration across artistic practices.

In the Spring 2025 MicroGrant funding round, MAC offers Matchmaker MicroGrants to Individual Artists and Arts Groups. Matchmaker MicroGrants provides matching funds to artist-led projects from any artistic discipline up to a maximum of $3000. Eligible projects must include a public-facing event or activity in Mississauga, engage audiences in Mississauga, and pay artist fees to Mississauga artists. Projects must demonstrate a confirmed investment in the project at the time of application.

Please read the Guidelines in FULL before applying. After reviewing the guidelines, if you still have questions, you can reach out by email for more information to susan@macarts.ca. Please allow 2-3 business days for a response.
