How to Write a Good Funding Application

Join us for the second workshop organised by the Sector Development Team at BSWN to discuss and discover practical solutions for you to write good funding applications.

This workshop is the second in a series of monthly workshops to support you and your organisation/community group to become more sustainable and work more efficiently. We have changed the order of the workshops we were planning to respond to your needs better. 

So, this second workshop is about How to write good funding applications. We will explore practical steps that you need to think about before applying for funding and will demystify the application process. We will also go through the different steps you need to go through to write a good funding application. At the end of this workshop, you will get a better understanding of what the funders expect and a lot of good tips to increase your success rate when applying for funding.
