I have been thinking for a long time about mining my experience as a career grant writer/fundraising professional to write a series of articles targeted to the creative class (artists, musicians, and writers) to teach them to research funding opportunities, write proposals, and win grant money.  And I need your input.

 

My idea is to write a very detailed series of articles covering everything relevant that goes into winning grant money (people, it takes more than just writing the proposal) with a very clear how-to slant that even the novice grant seeking artist could use successfully.  My goal is to provide specific information – I’ve seen too many articles in the past 5 years that do not come from people with experiences in the trenches.  I’ve been there. I have knowledge that would be useful, and most importantly I have direct access to the people who read the proposals and make the funding decisions.

 

So, here is what I’m asking from you, dear interested reader.  What questions specifically would you want answered?  What are your concerns?  What information would you require for such a series to be helpful and relevant to you?  Where would you expect to read such an article, what publications?

 

I’m looking forward to hearing from you.  Please reply in the comments section or email me at grantart –at- susannahfisher.com.

 

Thanks!
