🎶 The Blueprint Music Business Summit & Experience

Saturday, February 28, 2026 | The Great Hall, Toronto

The Blueprint is a full-day music business summit followed by an evening concert experience, created to equip artists, creatives, and industry professionals with real tools — not gatekept information.

What to expect at the Summit:

• Understanding the music ecosystem (royalties, publishing, data & marketing)
• Release planning from studio to spotlight
• Touring & live experience readiness
• Professionalism, branding, and long-term strategy
• Direct access to industry leaders and decision-makers

The day closes with The Blueprint Experience Concert, showcasing Canadian gospel and faith-based artists live on stage.

While The Blueprint is rooted in a specific creative community, the industry principles shared are universal — and everyone is welcome!!!!

👉 Summit registration is FREE​
👉 Concert tickets are $30

🎒 Bagged: Your Grant Discovery Hub

• Clear summaries so you know what’s worth applying for

If you’ve ever felt stuck wondering “Where do I even find grants?” — Bagged is your starting point.

💸 Grant Writing Prices Are Lowered for All of 2026

Once you’ve identified the grants you want to pursue, Crown Management can support you with the application process.

As part of our commitment to sustainability and access, grant writing prices have been reduced for the entirety of 2026.

If you’ve taken a meeting with me before or reviewed pricing in the past — yes, the rates are lower than what you previously saw.

To make this even more accessible, Affirm and Klarna are now available, allowing you to spread payments out while still moving forward on your funding goals.

🧾 Two Ways to Work With Me

1️⃣ One Time Grant Writing

Perfect if you:

• Already know which grant you’re applying for
• Have clarity on your business or project
• Need a professional grant writer to execute

You’ll receive:

• A fully written, polished grant application
• Budget + timeline support
• A strategy call to strengthen your submission

2️⃣ Strategic Grants Retainer (3 or 6 Months)

This option is ideal if you’re ready to fund your year — not just one application.

Best for those who want:

• Up to 4 grants written per month
• Ongoing funding + business strategy
• Support identifying grants aligned with your goals
• Consistent guidance (no last-minute scrambling)

You can work with me for 3 or 6 months, and with Affirm + Klarna, payments can be divided into manageable installments.

✅ Ready to Get Funding Started?

If you want help applying for grants you find inside Bagged, or you’re ready to work together more strategically:

👉 Fill out the Crown Intake Form → Crown Intake Form​

Once submitted, I’ll review your details, send next steps, and help you decide whether a one-off grant or a retainer makes the most sense for your goals.

Thank you for trusting me with your projects and businesses.
​2026 is the year we’re bagging successful grants — literally.

With care,

​
