Regional Development Australia Hills & Fleurieu will offer a low-cost workshop on grant writing to community groups, clubs or associations that need to tune up their skills.

It will offer tips and insights into finding and winning funds for projects that make a difference to local communities.

The session will be particularly useful for people who have not previously applied for grants or who have had trouble with the process.

It will share grant-writing strategies and techniques used by professionals, including:

• How to find the right grants to match the project, and stop chasing those that will not succeed.
• How to grab the attention of funding assessors and make a grant submission stand out from the rest.
• Gain practical tools, templates and confidence in making grant applications.

The masterclass will be held at the Middleton Pioneer Hall on Thursday 27 November from 9.30am to 4pm at a cost of $50, with lunch and light refreshments included. Book online.

This program is subsidised by the Department of Primary Industries and Regions' Regional Leadership Development Program.
