Community grants are in high demand at the moment, which is a trend we see year after year as we draw closer to the End of Financial Year. There are a HUGE number of grants closing over the next 7 weeks, right up until 30 June. It’s a critical time of year to invest in grant searching, and then be extremely organised so you know which application you need to submit next. Our Favourites or Grant Calendar might be the tools you need to help keep you on track.
Four of the top grants gaining our members’ interest at the moment are:

Harcourts Foundation Grants
It’s great seeing big companies like Harcourts providing grass-roots funding. The Harcourts Foundation provides support for a specific event, project, item, or initiative that helps, grows, and enriches our communities. Grant applications must be for a specific event, project, item, or initiative.
This is a good example of the need to contact a funding body before submitting an application; make sure you ask what their current ideal funding range is.
Applications close 30 Jun 2019.
