MARRICKVILLE: Funding Fundamentals
May 2 @ 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH INNER WEST COUNCIL.
Funding and grants are often held up as the holy grail of a successful arts career, but there is no such thing as ‘free’ money. Accessing government and philanthropic funding requires a great deal of work, from preparation to writing applications to delivery and successful acquittal. Funding also means ongoing research and groundwork to be ready for any applications, as well as maintaining the resolve to keep trying after an unsuccessful attempt.
This FREE webinar will explore:
+ the different kinds of funding available;
+ creating a grant folder (and being ready for opportunities);
+ researching funding and considering applications;
+ writing the proposal – and avoiding the common errors;
+ creating a grant calendar;
+ the acquittal process – and how to recover from setbacks;
+ five ways to FAIL at grants.
What’s Included?
A two hour webinar with our creative industries experts (which you can access later if you want), plus lifetime access to additional resources on our website containing more resources to support your learning.
Who should sign up?
Creative and arts practitioners, freelancers, start-ups, students and arts entrepreneurs from beginners to established (International sign-ups welcome!). We also welcome curious hobbyists and people from outside the arts.
