For Grantmakers
The dots between works with funders who grant awards to individual artists to help those artists use that funding to create a foundation that will carry them over many years.
Little support is granted to help people navigate the financial services industry in a way that leaves them well prepared now or for their future. People need ongoing support and education in this area. Lack of financial understanding hinders an artist’s ability to adequately set themselves up for a sustainable present and future. Through individual coaching, I offer artists ongoing support so that they can implement the steps needed to create long term stability.
