I’m passionate about connecting funders with creators.
I do this in a couple of ways: by curating grants and funding opportunities in Grants For Creators, and by hosting fireside chats where we ask funders the questions creators want answered.
Because sometimes, understanding what a funder is looking for can make all the difference in how you position your next application.
And I’d love to do more of these conversations.
If there’s a funder you’d love to hear from, forward me their information. I’m always happy to explore an introduction and see if we can get them on a livestream.
Speaking of which… 👀
Tomorrow I’m hosting a livestream geared towards podcasters. We’re talking about how to make your podcast pitches stand out in pitch competitions.
Kattie Laur recently organized the inaugural $10,000 Pod the North Pitch Competition at PodSummit.
She’s joining me to take us behind the scenes, share what stood out among the finalists, and explain what judges really want to see when deciding which projects receive funding.
I’m hosting this conversation over on our sister publication, Grants For Creators | Canada, but I think there’s plenty here for audio creators everywhere, not just podcasters based in Canada.
If you’ve ever wanted to get inside the mind of a funder and better understand what makes a pitch compelling, I’d love for you to join us.
