Deep Dive into Getting Grant Ready

Grants are often announced with a short turnaround time, so it’s important to be prepared to make sure you’re not missing out on opportunities because you run out of time to create the required documents or collect essential information.

This online workshop is suitable for businesses, not-for-profits, charities, peak bodies, and councils, and individuals.

Most grants require:

  • Organisational information like insurances, proof of business structure, financial information, previous funding and projects, key personnel information.
  • Project documents like a project plan, quotes, budgets, risk management plans
  • Supporting documents like letters of support, DA (if applicable), partnerships, consultations, case studies, and statistics.

Larger grants may require a business plan, logic model, theory of change, or co-funding plan.

Collecting this information and creating required documents can take time, especially when you are depending on third parties – like insurance companies, partners, suppliers, and supporters.

This in-depth session will be delivered by Natalie Bramble. Natalie has 20-years-experience as a grant writer, assessor, consultant, mentor and trainer, achieving an 84.27% grant and 94.2% tender success rate.

In 2023 Natalie published the book, Win The Grant: with The Grant Writing System™.

This workshop will be delivered online via Zoom (create Zoom link). Once you have paid the registration fee you will receive a Zoom link and calendar invite. This is a live workshop only, you will not be able to watch a recording at a later date.

You will finish this workshop with a detailed plan to get your organisation and grant ready so you’re prepared for last minute grant opportunities.

There will be time for questions, and participants will receive downloadable resources after the session.

Date: 25 March 2026
