Connecting Makers Mini Series: Funding Applications In-depth / Timeline
Word counts on your funding application driving you to distraction? Learn how to use the timeline to say more, prove your experience, show how your learning informs your project, and flesh out why your proposal has wings and why you should get funded in our third session of Connecting Makers Funding Applications In-depth. This is the place for more information that helps your application be low risk to the funder, experience, relationships, learning specific to what you want to achieve. I’ll bring my examples: winning, needing more information (conditional), and welcome yours, if you would like to share. Led by interdisciplinary artist Carrie Fertig.
Connecting Makers Mini Series: Funding Applications In-depth / Budget
The budget is just as important as the proposal; it’s a looking glass into your project management skills, and a critical factor in the risk the funder must consider to make their decision. In our second session of Connecting Makers Funding Applications In-depth, learn how to make a budget that pays yourself and any others involved fairly, includes every bit of in-kind, let’s the funder know it’s low risk, and informs your proposal with deep understanding of what is possible within the financial limits of a particular fund. Led by ceramicist Amy Benzie and interdisciplinary artist Carrie Fertig.

In this session, we will introduce the five-part weekly mini series, explaining why all parts; the proposal, budget, timeline, attachments, and evaluation are equally important and how they fit together to build an application far more likely to succeed. After this short introduction, we will focus on the Proposal.
