The main expectation of the consultation was to better and more accurately understand the specifics of writing applications for funding and specifically our weak / strong points when completing them. During the consultation, every one of my questions was answered, the most important aspects of filling out applications and generally positioning oneself in the field were clarified and discussed, and the essential highlights were made. I may not have learned any great innovations, but I received a lot of inspiration, clarity and concrete useful advice. Thank you!

What people say
The course (fundraising course) was very constructive and in a relatively short time covered the entire process of writing applications at the international and national level. The personal consultation, like the entire course, provided a lot of practical knowledge that gave clarity and saved endless time and attempts. I often got stuck in my applications, using many words, which in itself brought confusion and lack of a clear goal, and after the course, the structure of writing an application became clear. Everything just seems very understandable now and I know where to start.
- Gabija Savickaitė (cultural manager, KKKC)
Giedre is warm and knowledgeable. In just 1,5 hours, she coached me in super speed through all the must-knows and to-dos of selling a fresh new circus show for the first time and how to be professional and consistent as a newly started circus producer. After only one meeting with her I feel more confident and I can't wait to learn more.
- Ronja Breuk (circus artist, Bellow zero)
After the vision, mission, and values were established (homework assigned by Giedrė), it became clearer to me what and why I am doing, it became easier to choose the projects I want to initiate and participate in. Consultations provides a lot of reflection on the very structure within the organisation, fundraising, and the strategy itself.

Pradžioje daug kas buvo neaišku, be struktūros, neaišku nuo ko pradėt norint viską sistemizuoti ir susidėlioti į stalčiukus. Dabar, po mentorystės programos galiu pasakyti, kad atsirado planas, struktūra, aiškiau kaip gauti finansavimą ar kur kreiptis. Ačiū!

Hello!
My name is Giedrė Putramentaitė, I’m a cultural manager that has decided to become a consultant — nice to meet you!
For over 10 years, I have been actively working in the cultural sector in Lithuania and internationally.
Today, I dedicate part of my experience to people working in the cultural field who are seeking more clarity, structure, and support — something that, in my opinion, is greatly lacking in our sector. I work with artists, cultural organizers, and administrators, especially in moments of uncertainty, when questions outweigh answers, or when there is simply a need to talk through one’s work with someone.
The term “cultural consultant” is not yet widely used, but I believe that support and guidance in the cultural field can — and should — be normalized as a natural part of professional practice.
