We sat down with Hadi Eldebek, founder and CEO of Grantpa, a website that connects artists, dancers, musicians, and other creatives with grant money worldwide. A musician himself, Hadi wondered how many people apply for grants versus how many receive them, and, after canvasing among his friends and relatives, he learned that the majority did not even bother to apply because of the time investment and intimidation factor of submitting an application.In this episode, Hadi discusses how Grantpa works for grant-seekers to make the application process as simple and time-saving as possible, what it’s like being a TED resident, and why the idea that “artists must be poor” is an expectation he is working towards breaking.- About GrantPA -GrantPA is a discoverability platform that matches individuals and organizations with grants they are eligible for. GrantPA saves you time by matching you with the grants relevant to you. Learn more about Grantpa here.

예술은 우리 삶의 의미를 가져오고 우리 문화에도 영감을 불러옵니다. 그런데도 왜 우리는 예술가들이 다소 궁핍하게 살 것이라 생각할까요? 하디 엘데벡(Hadi Eldebek)은 예술가들이 더 많은 후원 기회를 가질 수 있도록 온라인으로 매칭시켜주는 플랫폼을 개발함으로써 예술가들이 더욱 가치를 인정받는 사회를 만들고자 합니다. 그래서 부업 없이도 창작 활동에만 전념할 수 있게 말이죠.
Die Kunst gibt unserem Leben Bedeutung und sie ist die Seele unserer Kultur -- warum erwarten wir also von Künstlern sich für ihren Lebensunterhalt abzukämpfen? Hadi Eldebek arbeitet daran, eine Gesellschaft zu schaffen, in der Künstler mit Hilfe einer Internetplattform wertgeschätzt werden, die Künstler mit Stipendien und Fördermöglichkeiten zusammenbringt -- damit sie sich auf ihr Handwerk konzentrieren können statt auf ihren Nebenjob.
A arte traz significado para nossa vida e essência para nossa cultura. Então, por que nós esperamos que artistas tenham dificuldades em seguir suas carreiras? Hadi Eldebek está trabalhando para criar uma sociedade na qual artistas possam ser mais valorizados. Para isso, ele está utilizando uma plataforma online que une artistas a oportunidades de bolsas e fundos, a fim de que se foquem inteiramente em criar arte.
L'art donne du sens à nos vies et un esprit à nos cultures. Pourquoi les artistes doivent-ils tous se battre pour survivre ? Hadi Eldebek consacre sa vie à créer une société où les artistes sont valorisés via une plateforme en ligne qui associe artistes, bourses et opportunités de financement. Ainsi, ils peuvent se consacrer entièrement à leur art et non pas à joindre les deux bouts.
Las artes le dan sentido a nuestras vidas y espíritu a nuestra cultura. Entonces, ¿por qué creemos que los artistas deben luchar para ganarse la vida? Hadi Eldebek está tratando de crear una sociedad donde se valore a los artistas a través de una plataforma en línea que los ayuda a encontrar becas y oportunidades de financiación, para que puedan enfocarse en su oficio en vez de ser su segundo empleo.
