Not to worry! I have found something apt for you.
South Africa’s Arts & Culture Trust (ACT), a premier independent arts and culture funding and development non-profit organisation, inviting applications for Thuthukisani Programme.
Applying for this program might help you with your business plan because Thuthukisani addresses the lack of capacity and opportunity for small to medium organizations and artists to develop new projects with mentorship, training, and investment towards sustained participation in the creative economy.
The name of the programme, Thuthukisani, is a call to action taken from the Zulu word thuthukisa (a verb), meaning to develop.
Details
The structure of Thuthukisani will encompass:
- Master classes
- Professional and peer-to-peer mentoring
