Grant Research and Proposal Drafting for Arts Programming

A prioritized list of 10 grant opportunities suited to Still Inspired and one fully drafted grant proposal tailored to a selected funder. The list should include funder names, brief eligibility notes, and application deadlines if available. Specific program details and materials will be provided.

Securing grant funding will help Still Inspired produce collaborative live performances that pair choreographers with visual artists, deepen audience engagement through Q&A programming, and expand access to creative process-focused dance experiences in Chicago. Volunteers will directly enable these artistic collaborations.

We will provide the organization's mission statement, program descriptions, budget details, and a single staff contact to collaborate with the volunteer. We will review drafts and provide timely feedback. Further specifics will be provided during interviews to tailor the work.

Organization Mission

Still Inspired is a Chicago-based dance company that engages audience members through live performance. Highly collaborative at its core, the company features visual artists and their work which serve as inspiration for choreographers to create their own work. Each performance offers audience members a glimpse into the creative process through a Q&A with the choreographers and visual artists, serving as a jumping-off point from which viewers are free to form their own interpretations.
