About this Event
How can you, as a designer, architect or digital culture practitioner, finance your projects? How do you identify the most suitable funding schemes for your practice? And how can you turn your ideas into a strong grant application? The International Clinic at Nieuwe Instituut presents Fundraising 101, an introductory session covering the essentials of fundraising for international projects.
Fundraising 101 will provide a clear and accessible introduction to the knowledge and tools you need to get started with fundraising for your design, architecture or digital culture projects. This interactive, hands-on session will offer practical guidance on funding strategies for students, recent graduates and emerging practitioners who want to learn how to apply for grants and subsidies. Whether you are preparing your first application or developing your long-term strategy, this clinic will set you up for success with practical tools.
The session will be followed by a networking drinks reception, providing an opportunity to meet peers, exchange ideas and expand your network.
