Grants, Fellowships, and Residencies

Posted on June 7, 2018April 12, 2021 by Stephanie Cooke

Finding funding for your comic book project (and for the arts in general) can be extremely hard to do. Thankfully, there are ways out there to get your project made, thanks to a number of grants and fellowships out there.

Melanie Gillman is a non-binary cartoonist working in the comic book industry. They have compiled a list of grants, fellowships, and residencies that over the years have been known to accept cartoonists. With their permission, we’ve shared their list that they originally put together and maintain regularly over on Tumblr.
