The investment of time in setting up a system to support the grant application process, often referred to as grant readiness, allows organisations to identify funding opportunities that align with their overall strategy and most importantly avoid the practice of trying to fit a square plug into a round hole.

Preparing your budget
After you have done all the hard work of writing your grant proposal, describing you goals, program activities and evaluation plan, don’t rush your budget preparation. Carefully consider what the project costs will be, and include enough detail in your proposal that the funding body can feel confident that they know what the grant will be used for.
