Helping leading change makers in the creative industries get to the heart of their vision, craft the strategy to support it and connect them with the resources to make it happen.

As we wind down 2023 in preparation for a new year I wanted to say thank you to our clients and collaborators and take a moment each day to celebrate and express gratitude for what we’ve achieved in 2023. In a tricky funding environment we've helped you gain 4.23 million dollars, but more importantly we’ve helped connect you to the resources, collaborators and supporters to make your ambitions reality. To export globally for the first time. To tell uncomfortable stories To change the publishing industry To employ new people To have certainty over multiple years To update your venues, market your offerings and expand your audiences. This year we've been able to navigate the sometimes confusing funding ststems together and to help the most humble and talented of you articulate your achievements. I've even been lucky enough also to have some of my own projects supported by funders- Big thanks British Council, RANT and Regional Arts Australia. And even when we haven't succeeded in funding rounds you've found the processes we use have helped you to open up other possibilities and feel more confident about tackling the task next time. Sometimes we need to engage with systems that are broken, systems that have been paralysed, overworked or put on hold, systems whose odds are stacked against us or in change. But nonetheless often hold the keys to making things possible for you. Thank-you for trusting us to navigate them together. #funding #philanthropy #systems #policy
