Writing a Successful Funding Application

Writing a successful funding application is a short, live online workshop for people who are new to grant fundraising – or who want a refresher.

Using the National Lottery Community Fund’s Awards for All online application form as our example, we’ll look at what funders are really asking for and how to answer clearly. You’ll work through the main sections of a successful application, explore how to describe your project activities, outcomes and impact, and consider how to evidence consultation and co-design. There’s also time to start sketching out your own application, spot gaps and decide your next steps, with space for questions and expert input.

This course will help you to:

• step through a successful funding application and see what makes it work

• get practical advice on outcomes, co-production and budgeting

• start shaping your own application during the session, with time for questions
