This online workshop, led by filmmaker, consultant, producer, and U.S. film funding specialist Tracie Holder, will prepare you to put your best foot forward the next time you apply for a grant. The goal is to help you gain confidence in your fundraising and proposal writing abilities by providing a solid road map to begin the process.

We’ll review the specific components of a proposal, how to convey ideas visually, and how to strike a balance between the big, broad brushstroke ideas and small details that make your project come alive on the page. We’ll also cover the most common mistakes made when writing grant fundraising proposals—and how to avoid them. By the end of the workshop, you should come away with a comprehensive framework for proposal writing that will give you direction and confidence going forward.
