Funding Applications:
Our aim is to assist you in ensuring that your project is economically feasible. Our budget consultation service is provided free of charge.
We start by learning about your project and identifying any potential funding that you could consider applying for.
We are here to simplify the application and funding process, offering support every step of the way. From initial consultation to application submission, we ensure you have the tools and knowledge needed to navigate the complex landscape of funding and grant applications.

The amount of time required to assess your budget will depend on the scale and complexity of your project. If unsure, please contact us sooner rather than later, or risk disappointment if we are unable to auspice your application in the time given.
Services We Provide:
If you are contacting us well in advance of the application deadline (i.e. 2-4 weeks ahead of the due date), we can provide the following advice and assistance with preparing your application:
Advice about appropriate funding opportunities for your project.
Strategies to maximise the success of your application.
Workshopping your budget with you to further refine it.
Ensuring compliance with current industry standards, equity rates and best practice
Grant Management:
If your application is successful we assess the total income, help you to re-budget if required, and work with you in considering any potential risks. We then manage the funds according to your budget and distribute them at your approval.
When your project is completed you are responsible for the artistic acquittal, and we will organise the financial acquittal.
This includes:
Finalising all payments and following up any outstanding invoices.
Preparing the financial acquittal documents.
Arranging and overseeing an audit of the project if required by the funding body.
