Are You Grant Ready?

Next date: Tuesday, 20 October 2026 | 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM

Grants can be a game-changer for non-profit organisations and community groups, providing much-needed funding to bring important projects to life. But with so many grants available - and each with its own rules and application process - it can feel overwhelming to know where to start.

That’s where this training comes in! By becoming Grant Ready, you’ll learn how to find the right funding opportunities, prepare strong applications, and set up a system that makes the whole process easier and more efficient. This means less stress, less wasted time, and a better chance of securing the funds you need to make a real impact.

What you’ll learn

• What are grants, and why do organisations give them out? Understanding the funding landscape.
• How to find the right grants for your organisation and avoid chasing the wrong ones.
• How to make your organisation and project stand out to funders.
• Defining your project clearly - what it is, why it matters, and how it will make a difference.
• Using data and evidence to strengthen your application.
• Creating a realistic and compelling budget that funders can trust.
• Identifying key stakeholders and partners to add credibility to your project.
• Planning for the future - how to keep your project running once the funding ends.

This practical and engaging session will give you the skills and confidence to apply for grants successfully, so you can focus on what really matters - making a difference in your community!
