Grant Writing, is a Love Letter to your future.

Have you ever considered that writing a grant is a love letter to your future self?

Are you tired of feeling like an imposter?

Has fear & scarcity narratives hindered your creativity?

Grant writing does not have to be seen as this extra thing, outside of your practice. It can be part of it, and it can serve more purposes than just being a “funding application” - it can part of your process of developing a deep trusting relationship with your practice.

Testimonies:

“Josie is not only incredibly knowledgeable and creative with their support, but they made me realise that loving what I do, and fully believing in myself and my ideas, is what gives a project it's passion. Josie helped guide me back to my original vision for the project, and working with them allowed me to see that grant writing should be fun, honest, and an opportunity to get to know yourself again as an artist. Thanks so much Josie!” - Gabrielle Finnegan, writer/actor

“Josie comes with a nuanced and supportive approach to grant writing providing enough realistic insights through out a grant writing process. They helped to extrapolate the key points from my drafts that successfully communicate the project to the panel. I have learnt through their many years of experience and success how to form my concepts into a clear proposal. The process was encouraging and demystifiying. Thanks Josie!” - Aarti Jadu, musician/sound artist
