InterArts Funding does not take a commission on general fundraising support. However, for specific grant applications that we prepare and submit on your behalf, we charge a fixed 5% success fee on the funding secured. This fee is only payable once the grant is approved and the funds are disbursed to you. This ensures our interests are aligned with your success, and you only pay when you receive funding.

The number indicates the duration—FundPro 30 is a one-month engagement, FundPro 60 is two months, and FundPro 90 is three months. We recommend choosing a plan that aligns with your financial needs and goals. Longer engagements provide more in-depth support and come with cost savings, making them a smarter investment especially for high-budget campaigns.

While there is no one-size-fits all approach in fundraising, we have amassed a wealth of knowledge on the key requirements that funders and donors expect from potential grantees. Our primary goal is to ensure that your organisation is fundable. We conduct an evaluation/assessment process to fully understand your entity's eligibility for funding. After this process we provide you with feedback which should help you progress to the next steps in your fundraising journey.

While InterArts Funding is committed to supporting a wide range of creative projects and organizations, there are certain project types that fall outside the scope of our support. We do not provide assistance for projects that promote discrimination, hatred, sensationalism, or offensive content. Additionally, projects that are primarily political, religious, or have a partisan agenda are not within the focus of our support. We prioritize initiatives that foster inclusivity, social impact, and positive change within the arts and cultural sector. Our goal is to empower social enterprises and arts organizations that align with our mission of creating a vibrant and sustainable arts ecosystem in Africa. We encourage individuals and organizations to consider these guidelines when seeking our assistance, as we strive to support projects that embrace diversity, respect, and contribute to a better society.

At times, we share funding opportunities that we think are relevant for you. When you see these calls please read them carefully, with a view to apply. Once you have made your decision, you can apply through us or completely on your own. Thus, we also provide a good resource for fundraising opportunities.

Fundraising plays a crucial role in the success and sustainability of projects and organizations within the creative sector. Here are a few reasons why fundraising is essential: Financial Support: Fundraising provides the necessary financial resources to bring your creative ideas to life. It helps cover operational costs, project expenses, equipment, staff salaries, and other essential needs. Expand Impact: With adequate funding, you can expand the reach and impact of your project or organization. It allows you to reach more audiences, develop innovative initiatives, and make a difference in your community or beyond. Resource Mobilization: Fundraising enables you to tap into a network of supporters, partners, and donors who share your passion and values. It helps build relationships and connections that can provide additional resources, expertise, and opportunities. Sustainability: By diversifying your funding sources through fundraising, you reduce dependence on a single funding stream. This enhances the long-term sustainability of your project or organization, ensuring continued operations and growth. Artistic Freedom: Fundraising gives you the freedom and autonomy to pursue your creative vision without compromising artistic integrity. It allows you to maintain control over your projects and align them with your artistic goals, rather than being solely dependent on restrictive funding conditions. Community Engagement: Fundraising provides an opportunity to engage your community and create a sense of ownership and shared purpose. It fosters collaboration, support, and involvement from individuals, businesses, and other organizations who believe in your mission. Ultimately, fundraising is not just about securing financial resources. It is about building relationships, generating awareness, and mobilizing support for your artistic endeavors. It empowers you to realize your creative vision, make a positive impact, and contribute to the cultural fabric of society.

Every funder wants to fund the most meaningful work that aligns with their mission and current strategy. This brings a lot of pressure on applicants to articulate their project in a way that resonates with the potential funder. Additionally, there are some basic principles that you cannot miss in an application. The project conceptualization phase involves drawing a sound business plan (if its not there already), needs assessment, budgeting, drawing up a monitoring and evaluation plan, sustainability plan, and realistic action plans. Our team conducts research and extensive planning to weave your ideas into a feasible project plan that aligns with your objectives and meets the requirements of potential funders. Our grant writers then craft the proposal, ensuring it effectively communicates your artistic project to prospective funders.
