Grant Writing for Culture Professionals

 As the next funding cycle for the year approaches, this day-long workshop is the perfect opportunity for cultural professionals looking to apply for funding to dust off, brush up, and polish their grant-writing skills.   The workshop will provide an overview of funding opportunities, break down the components of a well-written grant application, discuss best practices, and examine the process and different approaches to a grant application. This session is focused on cultural professionals who have submitted at least one grant application (either successfully or not) and are looking to hone their skills. Workshop participants will need to submit a grant proposal they have used in the past along with a one-page summary of the proposal. Once selected, participants will be charged a workshop fee of Rs. 1000.
