Freelance Grant Writing for Arts Organizations

I’m available for Music and Non-Profit Arts Organizations grant applications. I can also recommend grant writers for Film, Other Non-Profits and Tech Startup projects. Just fire over an email and ask.

I am also available for speaking/educational event to lead a seminar or take part in a panel about arts funding. Note that I currently teach a course on Arts Funding at The Harris Institute. I am  available to advise anyone seeking to learn the art of grant-writing or developing a career as an arts grant writer. 

My experience is more than 15 years of grant writing for music, theatre, dance, publishing & writers, visual arts, filmmakers, digital media designers, game developers, groups, non-profit organizations and individuals. I write operating and project grants from the Canada Council, provincial and regional arts councils, Factor, Starmaker, MuchFact, Canadian Heritage, the Ontario Media Development Corporation, Telefilm, Canada Media Fund, Trillium Foundation, Socan Foundation and other private foundations.

I offer comprehensive support service: research, writing, applications, budgets, proposals and final reports. I am also available to create business plans, project management proposals, marketing plans, company CVs and related documents for arts organizations and artists.

I am currently accepting new clients. Please check the list of grant programs on the Deadlines page to find more information on funding that may apply to your project.
