My name is Kathleen (you can call me Katie) and I am an arts administrator and writer based in Saint John, New Brunswick.

Since 2020, I have helped artists and community organizations in Atlantic Canada (and beyond!) access over $1 Million from federal, provincial and municipal funders. I have provided grant writing support to non-profit organizations and artists of all career levels including visual artists, musicians, industry professionals, dance artists, filmmakers, artist-run centres, dance companies, art-at-night festivals, and more. Working together, we have accessed funding from several public arts funders, including Canada Council for the Arts, Heritage Canada, Music-Musique NB, artsnb, Arts Nova Scotia, Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ), and Sheila Hugh Mackay Foundation, to name a few.

Let’s work together to get your project funded!

I can help with any and all phases of the grant writing process. My services are tailored to your needs!

We can begin working together whenever you're ready — I offer services to support you during any of the following phases:

  • Developing your idea

    Let’s talk about your project idea. We can find a grant program to fit your proposal.

  • Building a draft

    We can build a draft together or you can bring a draft to our meeting. We will focus on project eligibility, feasibility, and proposal structure.

  • Crafting your proposal

    We can work together to make sure your proposal is clear and convincing. This includes text edits, budget review, and support document selection.

  • Submitting with confidence

    We can complete your application together and celebrate your successes!

Let’s work together!

I would love to hear from you. Just fill out this form and I will be in touch shortly!
