The Problem

Grant writing can be exhausting: endless guidelines, tight deadlines, and constant pressure to meet funder expectations.

Many artists spend weeks—or even months—fighting word limits and second-guessing their narratives.

It’s also expensive—traditional grant writers often charge thousands, leaving you overwhelmed and burnt out.

By combining AI-driven insights with expert human editing, we deliver compelling, funder-friendly applications in a fraction of the time.

Our custom system is continuously updated to reflect current guidelines, ensuring each bid aligns with funder expectations—whether for the Arts Council or other grant providers.

We also integrate open-source data for factual backup, letting you:

All overseen by a professional artist/fundraiser with a track record of six-figure funding success—so you can focus on your art.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is using AI cheating?

Not at all! Think of AI as an advanced “spellcheck” or research assistant. We refine every sentence so it’s personal and compliant.

Do you guarantee funding?

While we can’t promise awards, we promise a polished, competitive application that maximises your chances.

What’s your turnaround time?

For projects under £30k (e.g., ACE), our initial draft turnaround is typically 6 hours. Larger grants may take 1–2 weeks.

What do you charge?

Pricing starts as low as £300 for ACE projects under £30k. Our rates are hundreds—not thousands—making us far more affordable than traditional consultants.

Does Arts Council England allow AI-assisted applications?

Yes—as long as the ideas and project details remain genuine and human-led. Think of our system as a co-pilot that enhances your structure while our expert review ensures quality.

How is data privacy handled?

We never store your proposals in a third-party AI tool. All data is managed securely in-house using approved open-source research.
