About Killian

I help cultural organizations clarify, structure, and fund their projects

I support cultural, artistic, associative organizations, and local authorities in the design, structuring, and funding of their projects.
My goal is simple: to help you clarify your vision, build solid and coherent projects, identify the right funding mechanisms, and produce convincing proposals that are both credible in substance and clear to partners, juries, or funders.

A dual approach: strategic and operational

Trained in cultural project management at Sciences Po Grenoble, I work at the intersection of several complementary fields:
  • Cultural strategy
  • Project development
  • Fundraising
  • Writing proposals and presentation documents
I intervene both upstream, on the positioning and overall coherence of a project, and in the operational phase, on the writing and structuring of deliverables.

What I can help you with

  • Defining a cultural strategy
  • Structuring an artistic, cultural, or territorial project
  • Fundraising
  • Developing grant applications
  • Responding to calls for projects
  • Writing letters of intent
  • Preparing budgets
  • Writing presentation documents
  • Proofreading, reformulating, and improving existing applications
  • Project coordination

Concrete knowledge of the cultural field

Particularly in the following areas:
  • Performing arts
  • Mediation
  • Cultural and Artistic Education (EAC)
  • Participatory projects
  • Distribution
  • Companies
  • Associations
  • Public and private partnerships
This experience allows me to offer useful, rigorous, and directly actionable support, taking into account artistic, institutional, budgetary, and human stakes.
