My name is Dahna Borojevic and I am a fundraising consultant.

I’ve helped artists secure over £720k in 2025 alone and haven’t missed securing a DYCP in every round for the last three years.

This round I’ve helped a visual arts artist raise funds to develop skills in sculpting through shadowing and mentorships, but also an emerging producer who wants to develop multi-disciplinary skills to be able to embed produce commercial shows.

Grab your notebook, your favorite pen, and that steaming mug of tea or hot chocolate..

P.S. As someone who's sat where you are now, I know that grant applications can feel overwhelming. But I've seen firsthand how DYCP can be meaningful for artists ready to level up. I got mine when I was at home with my 6-month old baby not knowing what I want to do with my producing skills.

This is your chance to get the insider knowledge you need - no strings attached.
