To help you put together a strong application, we’re offering free, independently facilitated grant writing workshops this month.
These sessions will suit both first-time applicants and experienced grant writers looking for a refresher. The workshops will help you refine your project idea and approach while providing practical tips and tools that can be applied to future projects and funding opportunities.
The two-hour workshops will be followed by Q&A sessions with the WRL team with practical guidance on eligibility and assessment criteria. This is a great opportunity for you to discuss your project idea with the team and get support with the application process.
“I encourage all eligible community organisations to register for an upcoming grant writing workshop and unlock your funding potential. This is a great opportunity to build your skills in writing a grant application that is clear, concise and compelling. You’ll learn how to position your ideas for local projects that give your application the best chance of success.” - Keith Whelan, Independent grant application expert.

Five grant writing workshops will be held in eligible Local Government Areas, with an online session also planned for those who can’t attend in-person. The project team will be on hand for an hour after each session to talk with community members.
