• If you have found a government or private funding
  body grant that your not for profit sporting or
  community organisation may be eligible for, the
  next step is to consider writing a grant
  application.
• Grant writing can seem like a daunting and
  overwhelming task, although it is achievable. The
  key is to give the funding body exactly what they
  want.

3
A brief description of your organisation

• The funding body wants you to establish your
  organisations credibility and qualifications for
  funding.
• They want to get a feel for how you have
  developed your programs to meet the identified
  needs.

4
The case for support

• It is essential to identify a specific problem or
  issue in an interest-based area. This may include
  such things as, youth homelessness, community
  building or rural depression.
• As grant writer you need to prove that your
  organisation can realistically address or
  contribute to addressing the issue.

5
Demonstrate community support

• Most funding bodies will ask for evidence of the
  community support for your proposed project.

6
The proposed project/program

• The funding body will want to see a
  well-developed, creative, achievable, clearly
  defined and measurable plan to address the
  problems previously identified.
• Your plan should include
• Clearly defined your goals and objectives.
• How your objectives are to be achieved.
• How you will be measuring the programs success.

7
The budget

• Provide an honest, open and realistic budget.
  Ensuring all aspects of the plan are correctly
  covered. An accountant can help you get this
  right and is the best strategy.

8
Proofreading

• It is vital that you continually READ AND REREAD
  THE GUIDELINES, follow them to the letter, and
  make sure that your organisation meets the
  criteria for the grant.
• Follow the funding bodys application format,
  address and answer every question that they have
  ask and ensure that you demonstrate how you meet
  their criteria.

9

• Once completed, it is time to have someone who
  hasnt participated in the application process to
  proofread the grant application to see that it
  meets the guidelines, check that nothing has been
  left out, and there are no spelling or
  grammatical errors.
• Ask them for feedback. Ask if they think you have
  successfully made a convincing case for funding.

10

• Aim to get your application in before the due
  date. The majority of applications received
  arrive in the final two days before the closing
  date.
• As the grant writer, you leave yourself no room
  for last-minute and unexpected delays if you
  leave your submission until the last minute.
