The process

A slow, honest process that respects your deadline.

Five stages, in the order they actually happen. Nothing is skipped, nothing is rushed, and you always know which stage we are on.

Stage 01, Week one

Initial conversation

A free call with the founder. We talk about the project honestly, agree on scope, and decide together whether this is a fit before any money changes hands.

Stage 02, Week one to two

Document collection

A tidy, shared folder for everything the application will need. Budgets, letters of support, past work samples, artist statements. Gathered once, reused everywhere.

Stage 03, Week two to four

Research and writing

The heart of the work. Funder research, application drafting, revisions with you, then a final read that treats the reviewer as a human being rather than a form to fill.

Stage 04, On the deadline, not near it

Submission

Every attachment checked, every field completed, submitted with enough breathing room to fix a portal error if one appears. Confirmation is sent to you the same day.

Stage 05, Weeks or months after

Tracking and decision

We follow the funder's timeline through to a yes, a no, or a request for more information. You always know where the application stands.
