PREPARING A GRANT APPLICATION
Grant applications do take time (say 10-20 hours depending on the complexity of the application), so the more prepared you are, the better chance you have of submitting a winning application within the short opening window.
We encourage you to have the following items ready in advance:
- Business Plan – Every business should have a business plan ready to go, with updates added annually so that your key goals and activities are current.
- Project Plan – You should have a one-page overview of the project that you wish to undertake ready. This will assist you with pitching ideas to potential investors, exporters, and grant assessment panels. This plan should include an indication of timelines and budgets, which you will need to further detail in the grant application.
- Profit and Loss – Financials are vital to any grant application, as they highlight how you will fund your percentage of the project and maintain it thereafter.
Up-to-date, credible demographic and economic analysis on the Murraylands and Riverland region is available free of charge online.
Join other local businesses that are using it to strengthen their case for grant funding by demonstrating the positive regional impacts of a proposal.
Preparing grant applications can seem daunting, but we are here to help.
