Culturecap:
grant application design + project management portfolio
by maison zolts
In 2016, Maison founder + principal Dasha Zolota worked with CultureCap - a Toronto-based business development boutique serving the arts sector to assist with grant application design and project management.
the takeaway:
There's no such thing as a free lunch - government grants aren’t handouts; they demand rigorous plans, measurable impact, and crystal-clear answers.
to succeed you need:
Strategic Literacy
Crafting succinct, carefully written narratives that clearly answered every question in an easy to understand way, and highlighted economic benefits for Toronto’s creative economy.
Design Differentiation
Beautifully and highly legible formatted applications, complete with custom graphics, branded decks, and eye-catching imagery, making each proposal impossible to ignore, much less forget.
The right team supporting your goals
Grants can inject a creative business with a surge of capital; if you can successfully prove your impact, comply with stringent requirements, and present a compelling visual story. Our work at CultureCap demonstrates how grant writing and graphic design are a match made in heaven to fuel real growth for businesses in Toronto, arts industries, and beyond.
