Inquiry Relocation Forest City Gallery

The Employee <employee@forestcitygallery.com> To: Tim Dallett <█████████████████ >

Dear Tim,

I am contacting you after a referral from Amber Berson from articule.
I am currently working as a grant-writer for Forest City Gallery, an artist-run center in London, ON. We have been wanting to relocate for quite some time and after speaking with Amber about the process articule just went through, she mentioned your services were very helpful.
As we are still early in the process (currently looking for a new space and working on funding applications), we were wondering if you would be interested in working with us in a consultation capacity. 
Unfortunately, we don't currently have the funds to pay you but are working on multiple grants where we could add a fee to the budget, in the hope that they would come through. I was wondering what would be your rate for this type of work?

I am available if you want to chat more about the project and feel free to email me with any questions you might have.
I am looking forward to hearing from you!


Sincerely,

Camille-Zoé Valcourt-Synnott (she/her) — Fundraiser/Grantwriter
The employment of a fundraiser/ grant-writer on behalf of Forest City Gallery is the artistic work of Joshua Schwebel.

Hello Camille-Zoé Valcourt-Synnott,

Thanks very much for your email and for your interest.

I appreciate you contacting me in relation to Forest City Gallery's relocation project.

Unfortunately I'm fully occupied until the end of June and am not able to respond until then.

If it's still relevant at that point please feel free to recontact me in July at this new email address.

For reference, if you are looking for examples of rates for consulting services around arts facility development or project planning, in recent years I have quoted rates between ███ ███ ███ per hour to non-profit, artist-run centres making funding applications to support studies, planning etc.

All the best with the development of your project.

Sincerely,

Tim Dallett
