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.

Presenter: Vanessa Meachen
