We are delighted to announce the second round of awardees for the CAG Mini Grant!
We weren’t sure how things were going to go this time, considering how the social media landscape has, well, you know. But you got the word out! It was incredibly difficult selecting only thirty recipients from over 1200 applications, so please know that if you didn’t receive a grant this time around — it’s not you, seriously. We’re going to continue working to expand our capabilities over the years to come; the world deserves your comics, and you deserve to make those comics under fair and healthy conditions.
Please keep an eye out over the next few weeks for posts spotlighting this round’s amazing recipients, and thank you again for your support!

More About the CAG Mini Grant
The CAG Mini Grant provides small, unrestricted funding to comic creators who reside within the United States and are in need of additional resources. As the cost of food and rent are growing prohibitive, many creators find themselves taking on additional work with time they do not have in order to make ends meet. Our goal in offering this $500 mutual aid grant is to give cartoonists some time and space to work on the projects most important to them.
This launch effort was made possible by many wonderful donors. If you would like to contribute to our future grants and other initiatives, please consider making a tax-deductible donation (or setting up a recurring donation) – or let us know if you’d be interested in sharing your expertise as an in-kind contribution!
If you would like to receive updates from the Comics Advocacy Group, please follow us on social media (bluesky) and we’ll let you know the moment we have our newsletter up and running. We are a young nonprofit, and your support makes all the difference. Thank you!!
