Canterbury Community Business Trust: Seminar 3 - Grant Funding: Maximising Your Chances of Grant Funding Success
Capacity Building
Canterbury Community Business Trust with support from Rātā, is sponsoring these free training workshops for not-for-profits.
In this workshop facilitated by Livné Ore and Eleanor Parkes, we will take a deep dive into all the factors that make for a strong grant funding application. This topic follows on from the previous grant funding strategy workshop and assumes at least a basic understanding of grant funding.
This workshop will cover the dos and don’ts of grant funding applications and will then run through our best tips for maximising your chances of success. We will include specific tips for the grants we are most often asked about, including COGs, Lotteries and philanthropic trusts. The facilitators have experience with grant funding across a range of sectors and will allow time for questions and discussion so that grant funding advice can be as relevant as possible to your organisation.
To register, email your contact details and which workshop(s) you’d like to attend to admin@oneonone.co.nz, and someone will be in touch with your booking confirmation.
