• In order to find the most suitable opportunities
  accessible, our Grant Writers are constantly
  reviewing and updating funding options in these
  areas as they become available.
• Many programs open and close and new programs
  commence, consequently making funding selections
  problematic and therefore the grant writing
  process very complex.

  Programs available and the internet is a vital
