A proactive grant writing strategy can increase your chances of success and make the most of your organisation's resources.

Are you tired of relying on an ad hoc approach to grant writing? While it may seem convenient, this approach can be risky and inefficient. You may miss out on valuable funding opportunities by only applying for grants as they become available, and the grant application process can take time and effort. But there is a solution: a proactive grant writing strategy.


A proactive grant writing strategy can increase your chances of success and make the most of your organisation's resources. This approach can involve researching and targeting specific grants that align with your organisation's goals or establishing a dedicated grant-writing strategy. By taking a proactive approach, you can benefit from targeted grant searches, a dedicated calendar to keep track of deadlines, and better preparation of materials.


To help organisations take advantage of this approach, I am offering free 30-minute consultations to the first 20 organisations who sign up. This is an excellent opportunity to ask questions and learn more about how a proactive grant-writing strategy can benefit your organisation.
