22. How to Fund Your Creator Dreams with Grants

Dear Content Creator, have you ever wondered how to fund your big ideas without breaking the bank? If so, this episode is for you. We’re talking all about grant opportunities for content creators — where to find them, what you need to know before applying, and how to set yourself up for success.

I’ll be sharing the strategies I use to source funding opportunities, the key things to prepare before you hit submit, and my own experience with receiving grants to fund creative projects. My goal is to show you that funding is within reach if you know where to look and how to approach it.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• How to source and track grant opportunities as a creator
• What to keep in mind before applying (eligibility, documents, and common mistakes to avoid)
• My personal journey of receiving funding and lessons learned along the way

Things I'm loving right now

⁠Notion⁠- Not only do I use this to stay organized, but I also use it to track grants I want to apply for and you can too with their custom templates or make your own from scratch
