On Thursday October 18, eight locals attended the CRC’s Grant Writing Workshop facilitated by Michelle Slarke. An interactive workshop, there was great discussion and questions from participants, learning the do’s and don’ts of what you should do before applying, when applying and once you have applied.
Attendees became grant gurus with feedback from the workshop including ‘Really good getting discussion and feedback from the group’ and ‘Thanks a lot to the Michelle and the CRC for organising a really informative session’.
An engaging evening with relevant information, participants went home with notes to put into practice when applying for their next grant.

An engaging evening with relevant information, participants went home with notes to put into practice when applying for their next grant.
Participants learnt and discussed,
- Ask questions. Call the funding body and ask how will the grant be assessed and what other projects have been successful?
- Have your ‘background’ ready! Many grants will ask for a background of your organisation and there is no need to recreate the wheel each time. Keep a short paragraph (or two) ready, include your mission statement and copy this across to each grant you apply for.
- Make sure your timeline is realistic!
- When you’ve completed your grant, read it out loud!
- Whether you’ve been successful or not – always ask for feedback from the funding body.
