Grants have never been fun or exciting, but as anyone following their creative pursuits will know, they are most critical.

In college, I was told that if I were to stay in the arts to make a career out of it that I would end up learning to write grants.

That prediction was accurate.

The success of a film, album, or start-up company can hinder on the funding from a grant organization(s).

It’s of great importance that one educate themselves on what opportunities are available to them.

I have often wondered how many great pieces of art went unmade for the simple reason of being unaware to the abundance of grant funding waiting to be spent on your next art project.

The team here at Bedtracks has had a long history in grant writing and research of different funding bodies.

We hope to impart some of the knowledge we have picked up over the years and to help you find the funding you need to make your vision become a reality.

I mean, it’s in our best interest that you make your film. We’re a one-stop-shop post-audio company, after all!

Don’t let your idea go undeveloped. The money is out there, and the government wants you to have it. All you need to do is ask.

Make a weekly appointment with yourself or a member of your team to check deadlines and schedule 15 min a week to Google for new funding opportunities.

They come up all the time and deadlines are so easy to miss if you don’t stay on top of them.

Keep a spreadsheet of all the different grants for which you’re potentially eligible.

We recommend using Google drive for the convenience of being able to share it with all your team members.
