Disclaimers and Questions

1. Collaboration

• We can take a lot out of your hands and we can even write whole proposals for you
• What we can't do is do our magic without a careful transference of your brilliant idea to our brains

We need your input.

• In our experience delegation with funding advice and grant writing only works when the relationship with the one asking for the grant is clear and strong 
• Working with different funding methods asks that the person peticioning for grants or different funding opportunities (you) is flexible as well sometimes in how the creative idea needs to shift (or not)

We can write it for you (check out our services), but we need your input.

2.  Disengaging from power dynamics (as much as possible)

• Power dynamics in funding and policy? For some this is something less notable in everyday life. At CULTURALLY*  we are aware of different power dynamics that seep into applying for funding and/or when institutions work with individual creatives. 

• We use strategies to disengage from this dynamic in our practical approach as much as possible between institutions (corporate, creative or cultural) and individuals.

You can hire us to write proposals and get advice in the following languages:

• Dutch
• English

Special Requests

• Papiamento (For Papiamento it's only available through special requests)

Yes! We can have a 20 minute call, whatsapp texting session to see if we are a fit and we can give you an idea about what to expect time/planning wise for your project.

All the scheduling goes in collaboration with the advisor that you get assigned to you.

As a client you can certainly state your wishes and needs. 

Casestudy

If you hand in a booking to work with us 3 weeks before the deadline of the funding organization or anywhere you will be petitioning for a grant - we can't work (that much) magic. 

We will draft up a realistic planning for you in our preperatory meeting to give you a timeline that is feasible.

If you don't want to take that chance 

 -you will only have to pay 2 hours of our hourly rate. 

We usually reply within 2 business days (or sooner). Except for when we are out of office, but we will state that clearly to you on our website and/or social media.

It's cliche - but it's really also up to you.

In our experiences we can do our magic and be clear about what that practically entails and then you need to tell us if this works as well.

Depending on the type of service you book with us we can tell you what is realistic in your specific context.

1. If you're a creative or small organization who just started out that wants to delegate most work over to us you can book the package "We're going big here" Intensive and we can do the rest. We would only need to have standard check-in meetings to see if it aligns with your vision.
2. If you're a creative or small organization who just started out that wants to also really learn in the process of how to do things themselves and have us by your side then paying by the hour or "We're all in this together" might be more of a fit
3. If you're a cultural or corporate company that needs us to come up with new funding policy - we also need time to do research and go deep to create something new and magical that fits your company. More on this soon!

• Through Bank transfer (Ideal, Paypal, Cash and in the future we will be adding more payment options)

• A down payment of 25% always needs to be made upfront before starting the collaboration process

No, all purchases are final.

What you will get for free if the grants that we worked on together don't come through - 

is a one pager (1 A4) of feedback and advice from us in relation to what the funding institution reported back and how you can integrate this for your next application process.
