3.  Our grant writer Brisbane is very experienced in
debunking the myths of grant writing for non profit
organisations. There are many myths around that really
need to be addressed to set those running non profits
straight and to reinforce that a good quality grant writer is
worth their weight in gold.

4.  Plain wrong – yes Government cuts have been savage
recently at both the State and Federal Government levels
and yes loads of organisations have had their recurrent
funding cut and yes some funding programs have been
cancelled or disbanded but there still are Government
funding opportunities at a Local, State or Federal level,
there still are opportunities through commercial entities
and there certainly are opportunities available through
Trusts and Foundations.

5.  Wrong again – competition is fierce BUT if you develop
great projects that attract the attention of funders then
funding is very achievable.

6.  Large non profits generally are likely to have more success
with larger funding amounts but this is purely because
generally they have more larger projects which need
funding. Small non profits should certainly consider small,
medium and large funding opportunities – any
opportunities at all. If your organisation and project tick
ALL the boxes as outlined in the grant guidelines then an
application should certainly be considered.

7.  The number of funding programs that fund wages or
ongoing is certainly not extensive but there are
opportunities to include “administration” costs in some
grant opportunities and this is where you can include
wages/operational costs.

8.  This is clearly the thought process of some organisations.
Grant funding is generally tied to a project and must be
spent on that project and nothing else. So normally
winning funding wontbe the panacea for a struggling
organisation.

9.  Grant writing is not easy but it isn’t rocket science either.
There are courses available that can assist to train the
inexperienced but the one real secret of grant writing is
read the guidelines, read the guidelines and then read the
guidelines.

10.  This is very easy to debunk. An hour of research will
identify a heap of potential funding opportunities you can
access and if you plot these on a calendar giving you a
month’s notice before closing date – problem solved. Also
there are lots of grant databases out there you can sign up
to which have information about all sorts of grants. This
can be a very cost effective way of finding out about what
grants are available and when the grant programs close.

11.  While this is a myth – it obviously can help your case if you
do know someone with influence. But thousands of
organisations every month with grant funding across
Australia and have no inside help.

12.  WRONG! If you receive grant funding it MUST be spent
exactly as you outlined in your grant application. If you
identify that you need to change and purchase something
different you must identify this in writing to the relevant
funding program and get approval back in writing BEFORE
you spend money on the new item.

13.  Wrong – quality grant writers can give a great return on
investment. Our grant writer Brisbane is highly skilled and
we can develop a cost structure to meet the budget of any
organisation no matter how small they are.
