Grants are incredibly competitive, and the difference between a winning project and not being chosen is sometimes miniscule. Once you’ve found the grant you want, and submitted your application – what next? What if you don’t get it – and what if you do?
This practical half-day presentation builds on Grant Writing 1 – The Start and helps creative professionals become “grant savvy”. You’ll learn to develop an eye for projects and ideas that will develop your career, build your capacity and deliver arts services in your community.
The workshop also covers:
- How to understand different types of grants to suit different projects and ideas, including tips for philanthropic grants;
- Real-life examples of successful and unsuccessful grant applications to inform your writing;
- Understanding when to accept an opportunity and what to turn down;
- How to use collateral to support a grant application;
- Continuing your grant researching and writing strategy as a regular part of your practice;
- Preparing for Grant Success;
- Other revenue strategies to help bring an idea to life.
What do I get?
All participants of this workshop also receive:
- Printed materials to help in class;
- Lifetime access to a dedicated Grant Writing dropbox folder full of additional resources and help;
- Access to a webpage full of links and resources to help them get ahead in their creative business;
- The chance to organise additional professional support for your grant or tender application.
The workshop is relaxed and informal, you can ask all the questions you’ve never been able to ask before, and participants will also be given ample opportunity to network and get to know each other.
You also get free advice!
All NSW participants are entitled to 4 x 1 hour CHAT sessions, with a creative industries business advisor, 100% subsidised by Business Connect and therefore at no cost to you (no, there’s no catch!).
