qApplying for grants can take a lot of valuable time, resources and energy.
qBefore embarking on an application, ensure you carefully read the guidelines carefully to
confirm the grant is suitable for your project.

Managing your project
qFunding bodies want to clearly see lines of responsibility for all aspects of project
management.
qThey will require demonstrated experience and abilities in the project co-ordination,
timetabling and managing all people involved in the project.
qThey will require a nominated person who will drive the project.

Demonstrating your credibility
qGrant applications may have questions about constitutions, annual reports, strategic
plans, and previous your grant history.
qThey help the funding body determine how your organisation operates and how you will
manage the money.
qEnsure you address these aspects of the application and collect all the relevant
documents and information before writing the application.

Building partnerships
qWorking with your local council and developing relationships with other not for profit
organisations in your community can prove to be very productive.
qDemonstrating strong community support and involvement to the funding body is
important.

your community as possible.

qFunding bodies may require you to demonstrate how your organisation will include your
community in your project.

Selling your project
qGet together and brainstorm the main factors of your project. Prioritise these factors and
ensure you can accurately describe each feature of your project.
qTry and identify why it is important for your project to be funded instead of other
projects.
qExpress this clearly at the commencement of the application and it will increase your
chances of success.

Be clear and concise
qMost funding organisations will receive more grant applications than funding available. It
is vitally important that you attract their attention in the initial paragraph of the
application.
qClearly explain the main elements of your project and how your project will marry in
with the other aims of your organisation. If the funding body sets a word limit, ensure
you stick to it. Your grant application must be easy to read and understand.

9. 9
P A G E
Use plain English
qIt is advisable to minimise your use of technical terms and jargon. Simple,
straightforward, plain English is easier to write, faster to read and will get your message
across in a no-nonsense way.

P A G E
Grants are a competitive process
qYour grant application will be assessed against other organisations grant applications.
qEvery grant applicant believes their project is the project that should be funded, so the
tone of your grant application needs to be well-reasoned, optimistic with a clear and
concise message.

11. 11
P A G E
qYou have a very limited timeframe to capture the funding body’s attention and to put
forward your case.
qEnsure your application is complete, has all the required attachments and is neat and
easily read.
qCheck it, double check it and ask someone else to check it again, well before the
submission deadline.
