Gearing Up for Grants Package

Service Description

Grant funding has been framed as mysterious, elitist, and dependent on luck — but that narrative keeps artists stuck and underpaid. The Gearing Up for Grants Package is a strategic consultation service designed to demystify funding and help you approach grants with clarity, confidence, and self-respect. Applying for grants is not about begging for approval or shaping your work to fit institutional taste. It’s about understanding how funding systems actually operate and learning how to communicate your work without shrinking it. Grants reward clarity, not worth — and once you understand that distinction, the process becomes far less intimidating. In your initial two-hour consultation, we assess your project’s readiness, refine your language, and build a realistic funding pathway you can reuse again and again. You’ll also receive resources and frameworks that help you approach future opportunities with far less anxiety and far more agency. This package is for artists who already have projects forming and want repeatable funding skills — not one-off wins. It’s not for people who want someone else to do the work for them or who aren’t willing to articulate what they’re making. If you’re tired of waiting for permission and ready to fund your work on your own terms, this is where you start.
