Common Question
Questions About the Grant Writing Company Process? We Have Answers.
Definitions vary by funder. Generally means you're seriously committed to your practice, have exhibited/performed/published work, and art is central to your life (doesn't have to be your only income). We help you determine eligibility.
Yes. Many programs specifically support emerging artists. We help you emphasize potential, education, and early accomplishments rather than extensive résumé.
Some fellowships provide unrestricted funds you can use for living expenses. Project grants typically fund project costs only. We help you identify which programs offer flexibility.
Many artist grants for individuals don't require nonprofit status. For grants that do, you can work through a fiscal sponsor. We can help you find one.
While both aspects are important, work samples often serve as the main criteria for most art and culture grants. Strong documentation of excellent work gets you in the door. Good writing seals the deal.
Yes. Many funders support all-volunteer organizations. We help you demonstrate organizational capacity appropriate to your size.
We work with interdisciplinary artists, experimental work, and hybrid forms regularly. We help you position unconventional work in ways funders can understand and appreciate.
We guide you on what's needed, but we don't do photography, videography, or audio recording. We can refer you to documentation specialists who work with artists.
Common in competitive arts funding. We request reviewer feedback when available, analyze what to improve, and help you apply again or pursue other opportunities. Many of our successful clients were rejected once or twice before winning.
