Professional Development Grants

The SWG provides an annual professional development grant to eligible Saskatchewan writers' groups to help their members develop their craft of writing. 

A Saskatchewan writing group is eligible for funding if it meets the following criteria:

• it has a minimum of five members;
• two-thirds of the group are members of the SWG;
• it meets a minimum of five times per year to discuss writing by members;
• members meet in order to develop their craft;
• it has provided a follow-up report (with all the requested documentation) for the previous grant; and
• new groups should have been formed no less than six months before applying for funding.

If the group is approved for funding, cheques will be issued in September.

Applications must be received in the SWG office on the last working day of June.
