Funding applications

Great idea for a project, can’t face filling out the form? Can’t find the time or don’t know where to start? Need to spend time in the studio making art, not spending hours in front of a computer securing money to make more art.

I help artists explore and develop a successful approach to making a funding application.

Applying for funding is an art in its own right. Don’t let the application process be a barrier to securing the money to take your art that step further on. I have worked closely with many artists to write funding applications, particularly to Arts Council England. This has involved mentoring artists to support them to write their own applications, running workshops with artists to shape initial drafts or editing and proofing text.

”Rebecca brings clarity to the process of writing funding applications, and my idea for a project developed and blossomed through writing my grants for the arts application with her. I was delighted to be successful, the grant has made a real difference to my work.” Bhajan Hunjan, artist
