About Your Host: Danielle Desir Corbett
I’m a former grants administrator who’s used grant funding to fuel my own creative projects and business.
Grants aren’t only for nonprofits, researchers, and traditional brick-and-mortar businesses; they are also for artists, creatives, and business owners like me and you.
Through Grants For Creators, I’ve helped creatives secure over $150,000 in grant funding over the last three years. Now, I’m bringing you the conversations, insights, and insider strategies I wish I had when I started.
