ABOUT CAT DIBLEY
Most business advice wasn\'t written for creatives. Most grant advice wasn\'t written by someone who\'s actually sat on the panel. And most funding program reviews aren\'t done by someone who\'s been on both sides of the table.I fix all three problems.I\'m a creative business coach, arts strategist, and consultant with 13+ years running arts organisations, festivals, and events across Australia, Europe, and the US. I\'ve personally secured $3.6M in arts funding, sat on assessment panels, and redesigned grant programs at State level — so I understand what works from every angle.For artists and creatives, I offer 1:1 coaching, arts grant writing support, and workshops that demystify the funding system. My clients have secured hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants using exactly what I teach.For councils and arts organisations, I work on funding program reviews, grant round redesigns, assessment framework development, and strategic planning. I design systems that are clearer for applicants, fairer in assessment, and better aligned with your actual priorities.I\'m based in Newcastle and work with clients across Australia.If you\'re a council or organisation looking for a funding review or strategic support — or a creative who\'s ready to build something sustainable — I\'d love to hear what you\'re working on. h••••@catdibley.com catdibley.com
