The funding work is rarely one neat bid
Arts leaders often carry fundraising alongside programming, producing and delivery. Different funders ask for the same project in different language, and the evidence lives across many people and files.
One person, one queue and one monthly price
Matt holds the working context, helps shape fundable propositions and turns approved information into clear applications and supporting material.
Your secure client workspace
Your organisation gets a private login for requests, priorities, files, questionnaires, drafts and messages.
Requests you can put in the queue
- Shape an artistic project for a funder
- Draft ACE or trust applications
- Build outcomes and public-benefit evidence
- Refresh a visual CV or short supporting PDF
You explain what you need in ordinary language. Matt reviews it, sends only the relevant questions and confirms when it can begin. He starts the ready request you choose; after review and up to two reasonable revision rounds, the next ready request begins.
Who this is for
Arts organisations, venues, festivals and producing teams with a repeat funding pipeline and one person able to approve the work.
All applications, budgets, strategy, documents and conversations are confidential. Funding outcomes are never guaranteed and there is no success fee.
