"It honestly lifted a weight from my shoulders." — Susie Tate, Artistic Director
▶ 2-minute platform walkthrough
The reality for artists
You became an artist to make work.
Not to wrestle with forms.
Applying for funding has become a full-time job. Not because your ideas aren't strong — but because the system asks you to translate your creative practice into administration.
The Unpaid Time Drain
Spending 40+ hours drafting a single application, often as unpaid labour, just for the chance of a "yes". That's weeks of creative momentum you never get back.
The Language Barrier
Knowing your project inside out, but struggling to translate it into "funder-speak". You shouldn't be rejected because you didn't use the right buzzwords on outcomes and public value.
The Evidence Rabbit Hole
Being asked to justify "need" with hard statistics, policies, and demographics — when what you actually have is lived experience and a clear artistic purpose.
Simple process
From idea to draft in four steps.
Your workflow, made simple and 10× faster.
Answer the questionnaire
Write in your own words — rough notes, bullet points, whatever works. Save progress anytime and log budgets as you go.
Add research & review
Use the Evidence Builder to pull real UK stats and case studies, then run the 15-point Reviewer to highlight what's missing.
Generate the draft
In about 10 minutes you'll have every application question written for you — with budget summaries, evidence, and funder-ready answers.
Polish & export
Use the Condenser to trim to exact word limits, then export to Word or plain text and paste straight into the portal.

Meet the creator
Hi, I'm Matt.
I'm an artistic director and fundraiser who's spent years on both sides of grant applications. I've seen how much energy artists and organisations pour into forms, and how heavy the process can feel.
That's why I built ArtsFunded: to take the stress out of grant writing and give people their time back. Every feature has been shaped by real applications, real feedback, and real creative practice.
