Last week I spoke with Danielle Desir Corbett, podcaster and publisher of Grants For Creators, about finding and applying to grants for your creative projects. Some of the topics we discussed:
Why searching Google is one of the worst ways to find grants (and what to do instead).
How to rethink your identity as a creator to qualify for far more grants.
The times of year when funders are most eager to give away money — and how to position yourself to take advantage.
Steps you can take to find grants and apply.
What has been your experience with grants? Do you have questions? Watch the video and tell us your thoughts!
