In order to develop a strong grant strategy
there are several stages the Grant Writer
applies to the grant writing process.
3

• Our Grant Writer in Sydney is organised and plans
  ahead. Grant proposals cannot be effectively and
  successfully composed on short notice.
• Most grant proposals require a few weeks of
  preparation to develop a proposal or narrative
  that can compete with all the other applicants
  and provide a detailed budget that supplies the
  funding body with the amount of information
  required for them to make an informed decision.

4

• For organisations who are serious about applying
  for grant funding to assist them to pursue or
  provide a project or program often their best
  option is to be affiliated with Grant Writer NT
  and the grant writers who have an organised
  calendar detailing when suitable funding will be
  open for application.

5

• The Grant Writer can then develop a timeline for
  the collection of supporting documentation,
  produce an accurate and detailed budget and write
  an excellent proposal then submit the entire
  application in an organised and functional way
  prior to the deadline.

6

• Of course, using a professional grant writer
  means that they will utilise their experience at
  preparing a competitive proposal that is clearly
  written and persuasive and increases the chance
  of success in receiving funding.

7

• The Grant Writer knows that every organisation
  applying for the grant needs the funding. It is
  the nature of grant funding that great community
  organisations never seem to have sufficient funds
  to do everything they would like to for their
  community.
• Therefore, simply asking for funding because your
  organisation needs it is not going to mean
  success.
• Grant Writers are proficient in composing winning
  grant proposals because they have extensive
  experience and expertise in their approach.

8

• The funding body will be assessing the
  applications based on what the organisation can
  offer to them.
• They want to know the funds will be managed
  efficiently and that the organisation can deliver
  on the promises contained in the grant proposal.

9

• Grant Writer will compose a proposal that informs
  the funding body about the organisation history
  project management skills prior successes in the
  area personnel involved in the project or
  program and their skills and experience if the
  organisation has the correct policies and
  procedures and whether the organisation can be
  financially responsible with their funds if they
  are successful.

10

• The applicant organisation needs to be realistic
  about the amount of funding they wish to apply
  for.
• Grant Writer can advise what it is practicable
  for an organisation to apply for. It is not
  feasible for an organisation to rely solely on
  grant funding. This is unlikely to engender a
  feeling of security and success in the
  application.
• The organisation with the support of Grant Writer
  needs to demonstrate what income is already
  available to the organisation and how they will
  remain sustainable after the grant funding ceases.

11

• No funding body will choose a program or project
  that they can see will not continue long term
  once the grant funding is dispersed.
• Grants are generally not suitable for ongoing and
  regular expenses such as rents and insurances
  etc, rather they are a pool of additional funding
  to meet a well-defined set of goals and
  objectives in a program or project that will
  benefit the community.

12

• The professional Grant Writer has the knowledge,
  experience, and skills to ensure the funding body
  receives the required information in a compliant
  and confident proposal that will enable them to
  make an informed decision.
