The Documentary Grant Writing Blueprint

✨ A clear, bold blueprint for your documentary grant proposals.

The Documentary Grant Writing Blueprint is your no-nonsense guide to writing grants that actually sound intentional and inspired—not desperate, confusing, or generic.

Forget copying and pasting the same sad paragraph into every application—this mini guide walks you through what funders are really asking, and how to answer with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Inside you’ll find:

✅ A breakdown of the core sections most doc grants require (Project Description, Artistic Approach, Audience & Impact, Team, Timeline, Budget)

✅ Fill-in-the-blank style prompts to help you get out of your head and onto the page

✅ Language tips to avoid jargon, overselling, or underselling your project

✅ Pro Tip callouts pulled from real-world grant experience

✅ A pre-submission checklist so you don’t send in a half-baked proposal

This isn’t theory—it’s the kind of blueprint I wish I had before writing winning proposals and navigating the funding grind as an indie filmmaker. Clear. Strategic. Honest.

Who it’s for:

– Indie doc filmmakers applying for their first (or fifth) grant

– Artists who have a strong project but freeze when it’s time to “sell it” on paper

– Filmmakers who are tired of throwing applications into the void with no feedback

What you’ll get:

📄 A polished, design-enhanced PDF

✨ A reusable framework you can adapt for multiple grants
