10 Steps to Grant Success

Grant Writing Workshop

If you're part of a small to medium not-for-profit or for-purpose organisation and want to boost your chances of funding success, this practical and proven Grant Writing Workshop is for you.


10 Steps to Grant Success will set your organisation up for success for all future grant applications. Grant rounds are highly competitive and it's important to understand which grants to apply for, what programs or infrastructure costs can be covered, how to build relationships with funders and, of course, how to write a succinct and compelling grant application.


Delivered by grant writing experts Beth Innes and Renee Selby, who have secured over $10 million in grant funding across community, sport, art, infrastructure, and academic sectors, this one-day workshop is a deep dive into the 10 Steps to Grant Success.


Whether you're new to grants or want to improve your success rate, this hands-on workshop will give you the tools and confidence to plan, write, and deliver winning applications.
