Grantseeker Workshops

Philanthropy Australia's Grantseeker Workshops provide grantseekers with an introduction on how to look for funding from philanthropic sources. The half-day workshops provide an overview of Australian trusts and foundations and the environment in which they operate. Learn how to research potential funding sources, what to include in a submission, what to leave out, how to make your application easy to understand, and what makes foundations different to other funders!

The workshops make a great complement to The Australian Directory of Philanthropy, ensuring you have the knowledge to get the most out of your Directory, but are accessible and useful for anyone looking for funding from philanthropic sources.

In order to ensure each attendant gets the most value from each workshop, numbers are limited. Please ensure you book your place as early as possible.

About the Presenter

Each workshop is conducted by Vanessa Meachen, Philanthropy Australia's Research and Training Coordinator. Vanessa has been at Philanthropy Australia since 1998. She has provided advice and information to major corporations, national and international trusts and foundations, politicians and policy makers, charities and community groups all around Australia.

After obtaining an MA at Monash University, Vanessa worked in film distribution and website design before becoming Philanthropy Australia's primary researcher. She has conducted a regular series of workshops for grantseekers for more than four years in all Australian states and territories, as well as conducting workshops for special interest groups including peak bodies, universities and state and regional governments.
