Mint Maven

Grant Funding Resources & Support

Overview

Mint Maven was founded to help creatives across the U.S. and Canada access funding through grants, RFPs, pitch competitions, and more. The goal: eliminate the “starving artist” stereotype by replacing it with structure, support, and strategy.
The Challenge

Many artists and creatives lack awareness of available funding—and even when they know it exists, they’re often overwhelmed by the process. They needed more than encouragement; they needed direction, tools, and personalized guidance to compete and succeed.
My Role
I created the brand from scratch and led every stage of its development, from strategy to execution.

This included:
Brand Strategy & Identity Creation
Graphic Design & Visual Systems
Copywriting & Messaging
Pitch Deck & Grant Proposal Design
Art & Creative Direction
The Results

Over two years, countless creatives across North America received support through customized research, writing guidance, and application assistance.
Some secured funding. All left with resources they could reuse for future grants and glowing reviews about the experience.

I've recently used Mint Maven's series of Notion templates and they're SO GOOD! Kimberly makes is easy to audit websites, reach out to potential leads, and figure out retainer clients. I used to stress about where to start but I feel so much more confident with this template! Thanks Kimberly for building them!! :)

Grant writing felt like navigating a labyrinth blindfolded, with deadlines lurking a relentless number of prompts to answer. Mint Maven, when above and beyond what I expected. There was interpersonal guidance and truly tailored plans to proceed and approach the process of Grant writing with success. I cannot recommend it enough.

Final Thoughts

It was an honor to empower fellow creatives—many of whom had never heard of grant funding, let alone applied. Watching them gain the tools, language, and confidence to chase real opportunities was incredibly fulfilling.

While I’ve since shifted away from client grant writing, I continue to use these systems and insights to support my current and future communities.
