CARFAC SASK and Mann Art Gallery are pleased to present:

GRANT WRITING

Get the money you need!

with Simon Fuh

Working from a no nonsense walkthrough of the entire grant application process, Simon Fuh—an artist and writer with years of experience writing grants and sitting on juries as an independent artist and arts administrator—will outline a number of applicable strategies to improve your chances of getting the money you need to fund your next project. Time permitting, attendees are invited to come prepared to share an unsuccessful or in-progress application for direct and tailored feedback.

SIMON FUH is an artist and writer based in Regina, SK. His work spans a wide range of media, but coalesces around sound, installation, collaboration, and drawing. He tends to build relationships with friends and community through his work, often incorporating a performative or narrative element that influences the  trajectory of projects that explore themes of place, memory, and microhistory. 

FREE WORKSHOPS like this one  are made possible thanks to funding support from SaskCulture / Sask Lotteries and from CARFAC SASK's artist members across the province. Consider joining or renewing your membership today.

Webinar - How to Write a Better Grant With Dwayne Martineau and Nic Wilson

CARFAC SASK and CARFAC ALBERTA are pleased to present:

Telling a Story: How to Write a Better Grant

With Dwayne Martineau and Nic Wilson

Wednesday March 20th, 6:30pm-8pm (CST/MDT)
WEBINAR HOSTED ONLINE

Telling a Story: How to Write a Better Grant features two 25 -30 minute presentations by Dwayne Martineau and Nic Wilson that explain how to tell the right story with the right budget with your next grant. After these two presentations, there will be a thirty-minute Q+A based on your questions. As the webinar is on Zoom, we will unmute the audience so you can ask your own questions. Join us and learn more about how you can tell your story through grant-writing!

Register HERE to attend! Please email programs.sask@carfac.ca or call the Regina office at (306) 522-9788 if you could use a hand with registration.

ABOUT THE WEBINAR
Dwayne Martineau has scored hundreds of grant applications and has studied what makes an application sink or swim. He's seen good proposals go sour for reasons as small as a hard drive. He will be sharing simple tips and strategies that will help you successfully tell your story to a grants jury, avoid red flags, and keep your application away from the NO pile.
 
For Nic Wilson, a budget tells a story. It can create confidence in your grant application or it can raise alarm bells. In this session, they will talk about how to present a well-balanced grant budget, how to use it once you begin your project, and how to report on your activities, expenses, and financial outcomes. They will discuss the difference between in-kind support, personal contributions, and grant requests with an emphasis on individual artists grants.
