About Me
Welcome to my little corner of the digital world! I’m Matt, an artistic director, grant writer, and occasional AI tinkerer (side hustle—what can I say?). My journey in the arts has been shaped by a love for creativity, storytelling, and community. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of being part of incredible teams that have collectively secured over six figures in funding for creative projects. Collaborating on these applications has given me a deep understanding of what it takes to craft compelling, funder-friendly bids.
This experience has taught me the power of teamwork and the importance of making funding more accessible to all. It’s also what inspired me to combine traditional grant writing methods with something a bit more innovative—AI technology—so I can help make the process faster, easier, and a little less daunting for everyone.
Let’s be honest—grant writing can be exhausting. It’s a process that often takes weeks (or months), with word limits, guidelines, and deadlines looming over your head. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
My mission is to simplify the process for you. By combining my real-world fundraising experience with custom-built AI tools, I aim to save you time and energy, so you can focus on the part that really matters—your art, your vision, and the impact you want to make.
• AI-Enhanced Grant Writing: I use custom AI models (trained on over 100 successful bids) to help craft high-quality, funder-friendly applications that truly capture the heart of your project.
• Word & Character Count Magic: Struggling with word limits? I use AI to streamline and refine your application, keeping it clear, impactful, and beautifully concise.
• Grant Feedback & Support: If you’ve already written your application but need a fresh perspective, I can provide thoughtful feedback and insights to give your bid that extra polish.
I bring a unique blend of experience, creativity, and technology to the grant writing process. Having written many applications, I understand what funders are looking for and how to present projects in the best possible light. My approach combines deep expertise in arts fundraising with innovative AI technology, ensuring each application is both tailored and compelling.
While AI helps streamline the process, I ensure that every application remains personal and aligned with your project’s unique vision. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or new to grant writing, I’m here to guide and support you with kindness, patience, and practical solutions.
Think of me as a partner in your journey to unlock funding opportunities—someone who understands the challenges and is dedicated to helping you succeed with creative, results-driven solutions.
