The truth is that there are more funds you can apply to than you might think before looking into it. There are books with listings and you can do internet search on the subject. Some funds are very specific and you might suddenly find that you fit in with their regulations. Also commercial corporations can sponsor music and art. I found a good partner here locally that teamed up with me because we both work along the same philosophy. I make music while they educate organisational leaders; we both have to be extremely clear about our output but at the same time being prepared to throw it all away and start over from scratch. In (improvised) music and business you never know what tomorrow will look like or if your "best darlings" will even be usable in a future situation. Nothing is automatically in the loop since we are only players and do not control all the delete buttons. But as networking (musically or business-wise) humans we will always create new buildings, whatever happens to the one we're presently occupying.
