Film Grants and Proposal Writing 101
with special section on Social Media & Crowdfunding
(EARLY REGISTRATION SUGGESTED [VERY LIMITED CAPACITY DUE TO NEW ONLINE COMPONENT])
with a special bonus: the fundraisers resources list!
Overwhelmed by an upcoming grant/media fund deadline? Don’t know how to begin to gather your materials? Or do you just want to start making your own projects and need to write a funding proposal? If so, this workshop is for you. This workshop will introduce you to the preparation, organization and submission of a successful grant proposal/package to foundations, donors/prospects and film funds.
Most proposals/packages can increase their possibilities of funding if done properly. Many mistakes are oversights that could be avoided. Our facilitator will lead you through the basic steps and general overview needed to complete a successful grant-writing campaign and/or a film or television project proposal sharing her years of experience in the field. Participants are encouraged to engage in the learning process by bringing their upcoming proposals to follow along, ask questions and seek limited personalized assistance after the workshop. Open to all.

******************************************************************************************************************************
"Attended the March 2011 seminar and would like to tell you that after taking the Seminar I felt inspired and empowered to take action on my career. It gave me the toolbox I needed to develop healthy and attractive proposals, and clarity about my mission and purpose. The best part was connecting with like-minded, aspiring, caring, creative professionals all committed to their passion for the arts and doing good in the world. As a young woman in the Film & TV industry, it was encouraging to meet the facilitator because seeing her success increased my belief level that if she could do it, then I could do it too. I highly recommend taking this seminar. It's knowledge and experience you won't want to miss! The value of this workshop was priceless."
-J (Producer)
"I found the Seminar to be invaluable. The facilitators were extremely generous with “inside information” essential for filmmakers to move forward with their projects."
