What's in it for you?
Improvements in skills and techniques for making quality funding applications will allow delegates on this workshop to make significant savings in time and effort when dealing with funding issues. This workshop focuses on the practical and achievable steps that can be taken to make an immediate or longer term difference to the financial success of your organisation.
Increase your chances of funding success
As you may already be aware, accessing funding for your organisation is tough! There are many groups out there competing for the same funds, so how do you differentiate your organisation from the rest?
The key feature of this course is you will have the opportunity to put theory into practice using real application materials! Building upon Finding Accessible Funding, and Planning for Success, you will learn how to put together quality applications, which represent the ability of your group to not only be innovative, but to manage your project in a professional manner.
There are thousands of grant programs and every program has different requirements and deadlines.

Learning Objectives
Funding can be a bit of a hit and miss affair! The objective of this course is to help delegates to better understand what funders mean by the questions they ask, and provide real concrete examples of the type of answers they want to get. By learning funder speak and knowing how respond to questions as expected, delegates will leave with a much increased likelihood of securing funding for their project or organisation.
