Events to help with grant apps

COMMUNITY organisations, charities, and not-for-profits across the region will be given an opportunity to participate in a seminar as The Grants Guy returns for a session of informative and interactive workshops.

In collaboration with the Balranald Shire Council, Swan Hill Rural City Council, Gannawarra Shire Council, and Murray River Council, this initiative aims to equip local groups and organisations with the knowledge and ability to secure grant funding and strengthen community capacity.

Taking place from March 24 to March 27, The Grants Guy Roadshow will offer a series of free workshops across multiple locations, covering critical topics such as grant writing and community capacity building.

The workshops aim to support organisations looking to secure funding, develop strategic community initiatives, and sustain long-term growth as well as providing insights into securing funding and growing sustainable community programs.

Attendees will learn practical skills, network with like-minded organisations, and gain access to vital resources to help bring their projects to life.

With limited spaces available, early registrations are encouraged.
