Thursday 5 February: 12pm - 1pm AEST (1pm - 2pm AEDT)
Grants are more competitive than ever - but with the right approach, your application can rise to the top.
In this practical and insightful session, regional event development consultant Kushla Gale will share the strategies she’s used to write over 100 successful grant applications across government, philanthropic and industry funding streams.
Kushla will break down exactly what funding bodies are looking for, common mistakes that keep applications from progressing, and how to position your project for success. You’ll also learn how to prepare in advance so that when a new grant is announced with only a few weeks to apply, you’re ready.
This session is designed to give you clear, actionable steps you can apply immediately - whether you’re applying for event funding, infrastructure projects, business events, arts initiatives or strategic development.
You’ll walk away knowing how to:
✔️ Understand the key criteria funding bodies use to assess applications
✔️ Strengthen your project pitch and demonstrate clear community impact
✔️ Avoid common pitfalls that lead to unsuccessful applications
✔️ Build a bank of resources so you can apply quickly when new grants open
✔️ Use feedback (even from unsuccessful applications) to improve future success
✔️ Increase your confidence and competitiveness in any grant round
