Are you an artist, a higher music education institution, or a cultural organization looking for new insights and tangible progress? Read below for how I might be of service to you.
Artist Coaching: SPRINTS
Working one-on-one with a coach who is committed to your growth and understands your work field is a powerful and transformational asset that will have a profound impact on your music career and life. Through this coaching service for musicians, I aim to help high-performing artists grow even further– musically, personally, professionally, and financially. When you work with me, you are not simply buying my time by the hour. I see coaching as a partnership where you will have somebody who has your back and who will do whatever it takes to help you succeed.
Through experience, I found that 3-month SPRINTS - an intensive collaboration with clearly stated goals - are most impactful. This way, we can meet as often as you need. You can phone or email me any day to discuss a challenge or exciting idea you're having. I'm there at your side to make you dream bigger. These sprints are intense, but because of that, they are also transformational. Change takes real effort. Are you ready to put your music career in a higher gear?
SPRINTS costs €2.000 per 3-month period.
Fundraising
A brilliant idea without funding remains a dream. Too many artists and cultural organizations hit a wall when it comes to securing subsidies or donations. The right funds aren’t always easy to find, and approval depends on both a distinct artistic vision, a clear marketing plan, and a solid financial foundation. With over ten years of experience in fundraising, I know how to turn ideas into approved applications. Not by simply filling out forms, but by sharpening your vision. Who is your audience? How will you reach them? What makes your project essential? Fundraising isn’t a hurdle; it’s a catalyst. It forces clarity, strengthens your case, and maximizes your impact. I guide you through the entire process, from identifying funding opportunities to crafting a compelling application and a solid budget.
With over 10 years of experience in applying for funding from both governmental, public, and private sources, I help you secure the financial resources needed to realize your dream project. This could include professional development, album releases, (international) tours, multidisciplinary productions, and multi-day festivals.
What I deliver:
✅ Structure: a clear communication structure and organization to ensure an effective fundraising process.
✅ Funding Scan: I identify the best funding opportunities and deadlines for your project.
✅ Project Plan: I create a compelling, visually appealing project plan tailored to the DNA and criteria of the relevant funds.
✅ Budget: I develop a feasible budget and a strategic funding mix for your project.
✅ Cash Flow: I create a cash flow timeline to monitor your liquidity (available at an additional fee).
✅ Submission: I take care of the entire application process, on time and complete.
With experience successfully applying to 30+ renowned organizations—including provincial and municipal governments, the Cultural Fund, FPK, AFK, SENA Performers, Dioraphte Foundation, VSB Fund, and more...
Why work with me? So that you can experience a creative, effective, and stress-free fundraising process. Furthermore, you can focus on what truly matters: creating and executing cultural projects. And finally, because we all need a partner who is there for you and with whom you can strategically and creatively brainstorm.
For a full fundraising project, my services cost €3,500 in total. €1.750 is a fixed fee at the start of the process, and €1.750 will be invoiced only if the project generates funding. The latter works with a 10% cut taken per approved application, until the maximum of €1.750 is reached.
