There are many grant programs out there in the abyss offering funding for projects such as new sporting programs, facility developments, volunteer training, planning, accreditation courses, equipment and events. The challenge is firstly to know about them and secondly to be able to submit a quality application that will be successful.
Call Luke to discuss what grants may be applicable to you
Applying for a Grant
Sporting Advantage can write a quality grant application that will give your organisation every possible chance to successfully rake in the big bucks for your next project. Although we can’t guarantee you’ll be successful, we can commit the time to ensure we comprehensively meet all program requirements.
Given how oversubscribed and competitive many grants programs are, you need to ensure every i is dotted and every t crossed, which means Sporting Advantage could be the difference between ‘congratulations’ or ‘sorry’.
To develop a comprehensive application for you, Sporting Advantage will:
- Determine the eligibility of your project from program guidelines and available resources
- Obtain a clear scope about what each project is about
- Develop a template letter of support for your organisation to circulate
- Identify the type of community consultation a project requires
- Identify what community consultation needs to take place and what it should indicate
- Liaise with government agencies and representatives for project support where required
- Formulate a budget for projects
- Assign timeframes, milestones and responsibilities to projects
- Identify what supporting documents are required to be sourced
- Develop appropriate responses to application questions
- Complete the application in the required format
- Ensure all required attachments are included with the application
- Submit the application by the due date
