We’re a charity awarding £1,000 grants to people of colour based in the UK who want to bring a new creative project to life. We support creativity in all its forms including: poetry, paintings, fashion, zines, music, food, flowers, photographs, workshops, events or something else completely.
Brief:
We need a volunteer to help neurodivergent applicants or applicants with long term illness write their applications.
An important distinction is to be made here - your role is to help someone write a clear application. You are not here to help them develop their idea or to turn it into something it’s not.
Applicants answer these questions:
-
What is their Grand Plan? (300 words)
-
Why is now the right time to do it? (100 words)
-
What is your budget?
These answers are then marked against a criteria which can be found on our website (which we can share with you).
Process:
We will ask applicants to come to you with bullet points for ideas of what their project is. This is the minimum; some may come with a written application that needs tweaking.
You will then read through what they have and help write clearer sentence structures. While we try not to judge on things like grammar and spelling, this does often help clarify the project’s ambitions.
The aim is to work in a collaborative Google Doc, but if that is not possible, we will explore other options.
Keep sentences simple and to the point. We need to be sold on your vision, but it doesn’t need to be overwritten. Using simple and straightforward language helps give us clarity on your project.
We will allow applicants up to two rounds of feedback - meaning you can work on the application a maximum of three times. We ask applicants to group their feedback.
Applicants
This will be open to applicants who are disabled, including those with dyslexia or dyspraxia. So it’s important to be patient and anticipate that they may not have the clearest written communication.
Skills
- Copywriting/Proofreading
- Desireable: Experiance of working with people who have long term illnesses or are neurodivergent
Please send us a short paragraph about why you're interested in this role.
Grand Plan is a fund run by creatives, for creatives. We award £1,000 grants to artists and creative people of colour.
