Times scale for funding - deadlines, be aware.
Consider crowd funding and funding in kind so that you have something in place when you are applying.
Funding the BLACK COMMUNITY - imbalance in how the Black community is funded, we cannot compete with the likes of the English National Ballet , we need to look at the how Black arts are assessed, the lenses of the individual who assess the application places black people’s application at a disadvantage, sometimes they are competing with the applicant.
We need ring fenced money for young black artist funding - we have been disadvantaged, there is a need ring fenced money in order for first times to get the support and start the need.
We cannot compete with big organisations who have fund writers being paid £500 a day to write a bid.
We need bid writers, administrators are paid more than the artist.
