First Steps to Grant Funding for Small Groups

This introductory session is aimed at groups and individuals who are new to writing grant applications and funding bids or have not applied for some time and would like a refresher.  As the funding pot gets smaller, groups need to be able to write more effective bids to help fund their projects.

The session will give an overview of the best practice in writing and submitting grant funding applications and will provide guidance on:

• What to do before writing a bid
• How to find funders
• What to include in an application
• Common pitfalls to avoid

There will also be an opportunity to exchange ideas and concerns with other groups.
