What are the key factors to be aware of when applying for grants? How does budget formatting in grant applications assist in making your project’s vision become a reality? Grant applications are not all the same, but there are certain elements to look out for that will guide you through what grant applications are worth applying for and how to approach the application process.
Most grants also require a project budget but creating an acceptable budget format can be a challenge. Once developed, an effective budget can be a great tool for artists to manage their project’s cost and sustainability.
Join Mia Hooper, Director of Development and Grantmaking at the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council, and Melanie Claxton, Senior Program Officer at the Benedum Foundation, to discuss grant basics and budgets for either an arts project or business. Melanie and Mia will share tips and techniques to help make the budgeting process more seamless and the resulting budget more useful. Participants can expect to learn:
-
Key factors to be aware of when applying for grants
-
Basic elements of a budget
-
How to collect or create the information needed for a budget
-
What to do when your budget is wrong (spoiler alert, they usually are)
Workshop participants are entitled to a $10 discount for a one-on-one budget-building and review project with one of our expert volunteers from Business Volunteers for the Arts.
