How do you fund a cultural event with grants?

Question

Accepted Answer

Applying for grants starts at least 6 months before the event. The main sources are the Mondriaan Fonds, the Fonds voor Cultuurparticipatie, provincial culture funds and local council event grants. Write a clear plan with social impact, expected audience reach and cultural value. Grant providers want to know what their investment delivers in reach, education and visibility. Combine grants with sponsorship and ticket sales for a healthy funding mix.
