Freelance Grant Writing & Film Programming

The Mini Microcinema 2019

​​​​​In January 2019, I was hired as freelance grant writer for the independent cinema and arts nonprofit organization, The Mini Microcinema, formerly located on Main Street in Over-The-Rhine, Cincinnati. I composed Letters of Inquiry (LOIs), completed grant applications to procure funding from notable businesses and organizations in the city such as Proctor & Gamble and Fifth Third, and wrote grant evaluations for previously received grants from organizations such as the Ohio Arts Council. 

I worked closely and met regularly with founder and director C. Jacqueline Wood to help develop the Mini's value and mission statements, summarize programming, examine budgets and demographics served, create measurables, and log relevant data in Excel spreadsheets. Beyond grant writing, I assisted the core administrative team with coordinating private and public events, film curation, programming, marketing, and maintenance of the space. Additionally, I attended sponsored grant writing workshops, screenings, and film festivals as a representative of the Mini Microcinema. See our press mention in CityBeat about the Mini's closing.
