Your Grant Writing Team
You don’t have to write grants alone!
As you’re moving through the grant writing process, here are some key team members you can lean on:
Colleagues:
Your fellow artists are there to help you brainstorm project ideas and give feedback on the artistic merit of the work.
What samples of work demonstrate this idea the best?
What do you think about this project idea? Do you think it sounds interesting?
How do you think this project idea fits into the landscape of artistic practice in this medium / region / subject-matter?
Grant writer:
If you are working with a grant writer, they can help you with strategy and translating your ideas onto the page.
How can I articulate this idea so that the proposal sounds clear and convincing?
What kinds of career goals should I include in this answer?
What information can be condensed so this answer fits within the word limit?
Does this plan sound feasible?
Program officer:
Program officers are your friends! Contact them with any questions you have about the grant program.
Is my project idea eligible for grants?
What expenses can I include in my budget?
What information should I include in the artist agreement letters?
Accountant:
