A practical guide for community organisations

Winning Grants

A plain-English how-to for volunteers and board members — from finding the right grant to writing an application a funder actually wants to fund, without the jargon.

  • What a grant really is — and what funders are actually buying
  • Get grant-ready: ABN, DGR, auspicing and the documents to have on file
  • Find the right grants and decode the guidelines like an assessor
  • Plan the project, write answers that win, and build a budget funders trust
  • Avoid the common mistakes and turn one grant into a lasting relationship

Used by neighbourhood houses, sporting clubs, and local arts collectives applying for council, ClubGRANTS, Community Building Partnership and philanthropic trust funding across Australia.

Get grant-ready

Sort the paperwork and status checks once — ABN, charity registration, DGR or an auspice — so you're never scrambling in the final hours.

Decode the guidelines

Most rejections fail the guidelines, not the idea. Learn to read the brief like an assessor and answer every criterion they're marking you against.

After you hit submit

Win or lose, this is where lasting funding relationships are made. Acquit cleanly, ask for feedback, and turn one grant into the next.
