Project details

What we need
  • A compilation of research on a specific topic (e.g. industry best practices, literature review, media contacts, industry trends, etc.) including a list of sources
  • Recommendations on areas for further exploration/research
  • Note: This project is not designed to be used for prospect or grant research
Additional details

Our performing arts ensemble is looking for support as we research different grants that we might be able to apply for. We have some experience looking for grants ourselves, but are eager to invite another experienced online researcher to help us generate a solid list of grants and other funding opportunities.

What we have in place
  • We currently have an Airtable with grants we already found and/or applied to, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have written materials, a clear mission and program goals, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,239 , allowing us to direct that funding and energy toward applying for the grants our researcher helps us identify.

This project is important to us because we are a largely grant funded company, which makes this research essential to helping our ensemble continue to do the vital performance and community organizing work at the heart of our mission. Without grants, we are not able to operate.
