Grant Writing – A Reality Check Many non profit organisations, businesses and individuals somehow think grant writing is an easy process and you just fill out a form and then hey presto funding is given out to basically anyone who applies. The skilled grant writer including our granter writer Melbourne, grant writer Sydney and grant writer Brisbane all understand that this is far far from reality. In this article we will give you some tips on how to be a successful grant writer and to give you that reality check to give your funding submissions a better chance of success. Most people think Government Departments, Councils and philanthropic trusts, foundations or corporations just want to give their money away to virtually anyone and will feel sorry for an organisation which tugs at the heart strings with a story of woe in their grant submission. This is definitely a myth, winning grant funding now is very very difficult because of the intense competition for that funding from the zillion other organisations that desperately need funding. So just filling out a form, tugging at heart strings or thinking that someone will give you funding and feel sorry for you is just in the realms of the fairies. You need to present a compelling case, you need to identify why you deserve the funding and what you will achieve with it AND you need to prove that your organisation and your project fits perfectly with the grant program goals and objectives. So how can you present a compelling case? Good question – the skilled grant writer will show that your organisation fills a real need in the community and that you have a history of success in your field of expertise/delivery.
