ASKING FOR MONEY
A PRO Masterclass on Steps for Producers and Writers to Find Funders
Led by industry expert Meredith Lucio
Oftentimes, the hardest part of beginning to produce, is understanding how to ask for money for your projects while cultivating a database of donors or investors. Asking for Money with Meredith Lucio will address some of the big questions an early career producer, or artist producing their own work might have as they embark on fundraising for their project or company.
This course will teach attendants to:

- Identify where your investors/donors might be.
- Identify traits of your project that makes your ask unique and compelling.
- Learn how to discover what your potential donor/investor needs/wants out of this arrangement.
- What's their number? Determine how much to ask from any donor/investor.
- Deliver results regardless of the financial outcome of the endeavor.
- Cultivate and continue relationships with donors/investors.
The event will conclude with opportunities for in-person attendees to socialize and network.
