How to approach a grant application
Check eligibility before anything else. Grants are often limited by location, career stage, or medium, and some are for projects rather than general support.
Find out what the money can cover. Some grants fund a specific project, others your practice, and the rules differ on materials, time, and travel.
Some grants need a fiscal sponsor or an organization to apply for you. Check that before you start writing.
Gather your materials early: work samples, a statement, a budget. They take longer than the form itself.
