FAQs

What types of grants do you specialize in?
I focus on grants for artists, arts organizations, community projects, and creative businesses, but I’m open to exploring other areas too!
How long does the process take?
Typically 3–6 weeks, depending on the complexity of the grant and how quickly materials are provided.
Can you help with last-minute deadlines?
Yes, but rush fees may apply for tight turnarounds (less than 2 weeks).
What if my grant isn’t accepted?
While I can’t guarantee funding, I’ll help you refine and repurpose your application for future opportunities.
Do you only write the proposal, or can you help with budgeting too?
I can do both! I’ll work with you to create a detailed, funder-friendly budget that aligns with your proposal narrative.
