We Should Practice 
Hi We Should Practice,
as you know, for funding towards creative projects, in the last four years I have applied to Auckland City Creative Communities, Māngere Ōtāhuhu Arts, Māngere Ōtāhuhu Local Board, and Te Tuhi Gallery. I have been successful with all but Te Tuhi. The former three let me know the outcomes in due course and that was fine, I know that for each round, Creative Communities posts online the projects that received funding, as did IMāngere Ōtāhuhu Local Board I think. I think Māngere Ōtāhuhu Arts this too, if I remember correctly.
On reflection, Following my unsuccessful application to Te Tuhi, it would probably have been useful for me if I had requested some feedback from them on my proposal. In my experience, feedback on unsuccessful applications is useful.
