Course details:

Effective Grant Writing is simple, but never easy. The art of good grant writing is to keep it simple and coherent for the assessor. There is always the temptation when writing to show the grantee just how wonderful you are and why you are deserving of the funding, but that can often lead to an over written application.

This webinar will show you how to come up with a formula for writing winning applications, every time.

This webinar will focus on:

What is a funding application?
Things to do before you start the application
Ten reasons why applications fail
Ten reasons why applications succeed
Common questions to expect and how to answer them, including:

What are the aims and objectives of your organisation?
What is the background of your organisation?
What activities does your organisation engage in?
How do you know there is a need for your project?
What are you applying for?
How does your project meet our criteria?
How will you monitor and evaluate the project?
What is the project budget?
Are there any in kind contributions?
How much are you asking for?
Is the project sustainable?

Free form applications
Things to do when you have completed the application
Further resources you can draw on.

Learning Outcomes

Participants will go away with:

An understanding of how to adapt your project to the grant application
An enhanced skill to draft coherent funding proposals
An understanding of what funders look for in grant applications and how they asses proposals.

Hugh has over ten years experience in management and business development roles in Construction, Education, Arts, Fundraising Consultants and Community & Voluntary organisations.

What Previous Attendees of Hugh's Income Diversification workshops said:

"I really enjoyed the introduction to the tools for seeing what fundraising avenues work for your organisation, such as the matrix map. Also The Wheel's case study was really informative. Whilst I had lots of ideas going into the session, I now have a formula for focusing these ideas into a clearly defined strategy that I'll be able to use and present to my board etc. Also being able to share ideas and get feedback from others was useful." - L. Bull, Irish Wildlife Trust

"I gained a new perspective on how to look at the issue of funding. I am ready now to start from the beginning, assess our position and follow the steps one at a time. The area of funding can seem overwhelming but when broken down it made the whole thing seem much more manageable." - M. Shelly O'Neill, Dignity4Patients

"I found the content of the workshop very useful on the strategy and what could be termed "governance" around fundraising. I find that quite daunting, but the presentation was well broken down into do-able tasks." - L. Alford, 3Ts

"Sharing of ideas was invaluable to me as this was the first The Wheel event I have attended." - M. Sullivan, World Missions Ireland

Who Should Attend:

Managers, fundraisers, business developers, board members and anyone with an interest in seeking to diversify income of their non-profit organisation.
