To support you in making a strong application to Round Two of the MDM Open Grants Programme, MDM have commissioned cultural engagement consultant, Jenni Waugh, to provide a limited number of free, one to one bid-writing surgeries.
Jenni has a good track record of supporting successful bid applications to funders including the MDM/WMMD Small Grants Programme, the Art Fund and the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
During the surgeries, she will look over your first draft and provide tailored feedback and coaching to ensure you
· Develop a project that will genuinely benefit your business plan
· Write a strong bid that meets the funding criteria
Jenni can’t guarantee success, but she does aim to teach you bid planning and writing techniques that could be scaled up for applying to larger funding programmes.
If you would like to arrange a coaching surgery with Jenni, please complete the contact form below.
Please note the application deadline for Round Two of MDM open grants is 26 September 2024. All applications must be finalised and submitted no later than this date.
MDM will acknowledge your request within two working days. There are a limited number of one to one bid-writing surgeries available, so MDM may not be able to accommodate all requests for support. If your request is successful, Jenni will be in touch within a week to arrange a time to meet.
Since there are a limited number of one to one surgeries available, MDM may not be able to accommodate all requests for support.
