Arts Grant Writing Support
What if it turns out even better..?
What if it turns out even better..?
You need funding to make your work. But grant applications feel like they're written in a secret language designed to make you fail.
Here's what I know after sitting on assessment panels: grants aren't mysterious. They're just specific. And once you understand what assessors are actually looking for, the whole thing becomes a lot less terrifying.
I've been on both sides of this.
As an applicant, I've personally secured over $3.6M in arts funding.
As an assessor and program manager, I've run grant rounds at State level and worked directly with funding organisations to redesign how they assess applications.
My clients have gone on to secure hundreds of thousands of dollars using exactly what I teach.
That's not a flex — it's context. You're not learning grant writing from someone who read a guide. You're learning it from someone who built the system.
There are five ways in. One you can work through at your own pace, one where we work through it together live. All of them will teach you how to write applications that actually get funded.

Grant Writing Mini CourseThe Grant Writing Mini Course is a self-paced online course that walks you through how to write a strong grant application from start to finish.
7 modules. 8 downloadable templates and guides. My complete system — the same frameworks I use with clients, built so you can work through it yourself, at your own pace.
This isn't a course you watch and forget. It's a system you build once and come back to every single time you write a grant application.
Grant Application ReviewGot a grant application draft? Want assessor feedback before your submit?
Send it to me and I'll record compile consolidated written notes you can action immediately with accompanying video walking through your entire application - what's working, what isn't, and exactly what to strengthen before you submit.
Power Hour | 1:1 Coaching You don't need a course. You need 50 minutes with someone who can look at your specific situation and tell you what to do next.
Eligibility questions, budget sense-checks, how to frame a project that doesn't fit neatly into a box, whether it's even worth applying — bring the thing that's keeping you stuck and leave knowing exactly what your next move is.
Grant Writing MasterclassThis isn’t your basic grant writing workshop. We go deeper.
It's about going from "I hope this is right" to "I know this works"—understanding how to work the system, communicate your work's value, and write applications assessors want to fund.
You get me, live, for four hours. Ask questions about your actual application, learn what happens in assessment panels that nobody writes down and work through real examples with other artists who get it.
Complete Grant SupportGet Complete Grant Support for when the stakes are high and you need personalised help.

This is where we get in the weeds together. This is hands-on, personalised support for your specific application. End-to-end, 1:1 support across 4 x 90min sessions..
What People Are Saying
FAQ — Let’s clear things up
-
If you prefer self-paced learning, start with the mini-course. If you learn better through live instruction and want to ask questions, the workshop is accessible to beginners. Both cover the foundational system.
-
Yes. The workshop goes deeper with intermediate content not in the mini-course, plus live Q&A, insider panel knowledge, and the grant dictionary. If you're applying for grants over $10K, the advanced strategy is valuable.
-
The workshop is group learning with live Q&A. I'll answer your strategic questions for the group, but this isn't individual application review. For personalised feedback on your draft, see Complete Grant Support.
-
Yes, all participants receive the recording. However, you'll miss the live Q&A and real-time discussion, which is a significant part of the value.
-
Lifetime access. You can revisit the modules and download the templates whenever you need them.
-
Think about this as an investment in your career, not just one grant. If you'll be applying for funding throughout your career to make your work, learning the system properly now pays off repeatedly. The mini-course is $75 and you'll use it for every application you write.
-
Workshops run quarterly. Check the this page for upcoming dates or join the waitlist to be notified when new dates are announced.
-
Yes! Contact me for group rates if you're enrolling 3+ people from the same organisation.

Most artists get rejected and never find out why. The budget mistake that screams "I don't know what I'm doing." The one word that's an instant red flag. The one thing funding bodies actually care about that has nothing to do with your art — and everything to do with whether you get funded.
I wrote it all down. It's free. And it'll change how you read every grant from now on.
