Cultural Entrepreneurship

When you receive a grant or a contribution from a fund , you’ll frequently come across the term “cultural entrepreneurship.” When evaluating your application, there’s a good chance that a grantor or fund will consider fund extent to which you can demonstrate cultural entrepreneurship.

In short, this means that it is important not to rely solely on a grant. You are also expected to make an effort to generate income through other means to finance your initiative or project. This is also known as co-financing.

We recommend that you describe as specifically as possible in your project plan or action plan how you will ensure an optimal funding mix and how you will secure these various funding sources. Describe how you will generate your own or private funds. Also indicate how this compares to public funds, or government contributions. Finally, it is helpful to describe how you plan to work efficiently and the ways in which you intend to reduce costs. Regarding the latter, you can, for example, specify which partners you are collaborating with and how you are doing so.
