Mentoring is the difference

Each grant recipient is paired with their personal mentor on approval of their grant application.

The Mentor will engage with the grant recipient (the Mentee) on a regular basis, supporting, guiding and encouraging, and acting as an intermediary between the artist and Focus with Passion. 

Together you will become a team - the artist brings the vision and the passion, the mentor provides support and encouragement. 

Your mentoring role will commence once the mentee accepts the grant from Focus with Passion, at which time you will enter into a Mentoring Agreement covering the full funding period. 

A useful guide to the mentoring process is Linda Phillips-Jones' Skills for Successful Mentoring available via the link below. This document will provide a comprehensive understanding of the mentoring approach Focus with Passion has adopted.
