GRANT WRITING

You know there's help out there, 
but it seems impossible to find.


Or maybe you have unearthed sources of funding, but you don't know where to start - do grant applications terrify you?  

Have you tried applying before and have been rejected (more than once)? Maybe you've even considered giving up.

Take heart - we've worked with organisations and musicians who are exactly where you are today.

I’ve been writing grant and tender applications for 25+ years, and with my extensive knowledge and expertise,
I can help you secure the funding you need.

Testimonials

  • ORIGINAL MATTERS

    Although I understand what it takes to break an artist internationally, I couldn't seem to format this in to a successful grant.

    Kristy was very easy to work with and formatted the grant in a way I wouldn't have thought of but made sense once I saw it laid out.

    This has enabled us to go to The Great Escape Festival in the UK and has assisted us greatly with marketing tools for international growth.

    The whole process was great!

    Cathy Oates / Artist Manager

  • PETE MURRAY

    I was very impressed with Kristy's professionalism and knowledge of the music industry and funding opportunities available to artists.

    I found her to be such a great grant writer and very easy to work with. We were able to secure funding for my 2018 European Tour which has lead to increasing my audience and building a new territory.

    I would definitely work with Kristy again in the future.

  • SHAG ROCK

    As the manager of Shag Rock, I was looking for grant money for the band to play at a festival in the USA. I needed someone that had experience in this field and was recommended to Kadence Group.

    Kristy was efficient and professional, Extremely easy to deal with and answered questions quickly. We had a great outcome as we received a grant from Arts Old that covered our expenses on the USA tour.

    Shag Rock has a very strong presence in the USA college radio market. This is partly due to the tour they did in the USA via the grant funds from Arts Old.

    We are extremely happy with the whole process from start to finish and 100% recommend Kristy for any grant writing.

    Andrew Wilson / Manager

  • GYROSTREAM

    If our clients are looking for assistance in grant writing and applications we only recommend Kristy at Kadence Group.

    Kristy is professional and understands the processes required in submitting applications for grants.

    Can't recommend her enough.

    We wouldn't go anywhere else.

    Andy Irvine / General Manager GYROstream

  • LITTLE WISE

    I invested in a grant writer due to previous unsuccessful attempts and time constraints.

    This lead to recording my sophomore album, partially funded by $ 11K from Creative Victoria!

    What I enjoyed most from this experience is that Kristy took quite a broad view of strategy and outcomes, the coaching and working together along the way. And the fact we were successful!

  • SUN SALUTE

    We decided to engage Kristy to increase our chance of applying for a grant as we didn't have the knowledge or skills to write the grant ourselves.

    Moved the ease of working with Kristy, she made the grant application process so much easier than doing it ourselves.

    She gave us full trust in her skills and experience. We were happy to have someone that was confident and we could put our trust in to achieve our goals. We have released 2 singles with JJJ airplay and have recorded, mixed and mastered our first full-length album, which is about to be released. Our music has reached thousands so far with only 2 songs.

  • Absolutely! It really depends on your project and your definition of 'starting out'. It's useful to be able to demonstrate you have built up a small audience; have support or references from one or two known industry professionals; or have undertaken some activities off your own back, such as local performances, exhibitions, or gigs.

  • Exhibitions; equipment and facilities;'artist-in-residence' placements, touring Australia &/or abroad; professional development; mentoring & training; marketing & recording; community projects; social enterprises; festivals, gigs or one-off events.

  • It depends specifically on your project costs, the grant you apply for and potentially how many other applications are also submitted for the some fund.

    Some funding bodies have a set limit of the amount you can apply for and others may only fund a percentage of your overall project budget.

  • Due to the preparation time, expertise and time involved, we cannot offer refunds or base our fee solely on commission for successful applications.

    However we do guarantee to write a professional application, which matches the grant guidelines and selection criteria and summarises your project in the most optimum way.

  • Almost all funding bodies will ask that you contribute to your project either financially and/or with in-kind support.
