About the event

Looking to improve your chances of securing grant funding?  Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have access to a wide range of grants from local, State, and Federal governments. However, crafting a successful application takes more than just a good idea — it requires an effective strategy, structure, and planning.

The City of Cockburn and Melville Chamber of Commerce have partnered to deliver this practical 3-hour workshop designed to guide you through the essential elements of preparing a winning grant submission. You’ll be informed on how to:

• Align your application with the grant’s purpose and scope
• Use a clear and appropriate structure, tone and style
• Effectively manage the grant application process
• Understand specific requirements for the City of Cockburn grants

The session includes hands-on exercises and the review of a real-world example to reinforce your understanding and provide a practical approach you can use with your grant submissions.
