You'll discover how funders think, what sponsors actually pay for, and how to talk about your art in the language of both. Then our AI-powered grant platform goes to work for you, building a personalized list of Philadelphia and national funding opportunities matched to your practice, with amounts, deadlines, and links you take home that day.This is a working session with real talk, real tools, and real practice, including a behind-the-scenes look at actual sponsorship asks and an ask clinic where you'll pitch your work out loud before you leave. Come with one project in mind and an afternoon to spend on your own abundance. Leave with your custom grant list, a framework for your first sponsorship tiers, and a new way of seeing what your work is worth.No grant writing experience needed.Just bring your practice, your questions, and your love for what you make. We'll bring the rest.Our media partner for this event is Technical.ly, a national news organization covering local innovation economies around the US.

We lead impact-focused conversations and activities that produce outcomes. We serve universities, museums, and communities that are on the brink of change. Love Now Media of CultureTrust Greater Philadelphia is a project of CultureTrust, a 501c3.\r\n \r\nLove Now Media is a concept born in the middle of protests. Our founder, Jos Duncan, had been leading cultural diversity programs and documenting protests for justice. Most of the advocacy work was a reaction to injustice, violence, inequities, racism, and social ills. There were real people at the center of that work whose mental and emotional wellness was at stake. Nevertheless, people were gathering in houses, coffee shops, community centers, and on vacant land to build upon it and make transformational change. There were stories of compassion, solidarity, and allyship working together to make progress; that looked a lot like “love.” The spirit of that work serves as the impetus for ours. We tell those stories and we offer services for those whose work is in line with our mission.\r\n" } ] } ] ```
