If you’re supporting communities that are bamboozled by funding application forms, or don’t know where to start when it comes to seeking grants, or they’ve written grants for years but lost all motivation to try again, then this training is for you.

From Our Clients
“Sam’s grant writing courses are popular for a reason. They usually result in an influx of grants for the community in question and people feel confident to keep on keeping on with their grant writing journey,”
Sam has been running grant writing and communication workshops for me, for decades. She has a unique ability to connect with communities at all levels and they always leave motivated and inspired,”
“Sam is hands-down the best grant writing trainer in Australia,”
“Sam shared her many years of experience with us and helped us to understand the process of grant writing in a
clear, simple and succinct way. The main benefit came from doing some grant writing, receiving individual feedback and interacting with Sam and other participants. After completing the workshop, participants indicated that they now feel more confident in in their ability to write a successful application.”
“I’ve participated in dozens of grant writing workshops over the years and Sam’s is absolutely the best. Feedback from our agriculture and farming participants was glowing,”

Past grant writing workshop locations
We’ve delivered hundreds of grant writing workshops to thousands of community workers over the past 30 years and have received nothing but positive feedback.
Past grant writing workshop locations have included regional Queensland, Western Australia and Tasmania.
Our workshops often take place in locations that are regional or remote. We totally understand the unique challenges of navigating government and bureaucratic programs from out of the way locations. We love working with regional communities to increase grant writing success and there are special considerations for writing grants when you’re based outside of a metropolitan city.
We’ve run workshops from the tip of Cape York to the NSW border, from Wide Bay Burnett, out to Mount Isa, through the iconic Channel Country towns of Longreach, Barcaldine and Winton and right across the Darling Downs, Toowoomba and Maranoa. We’ve helped farmers get grants in Reef catchments from Bundaberg and Rockhampton to Mackay, Townsville and Cairns and we’ve helped graziers access natural disaster funding through the Northern and Southern Gulf and Gemfields of Central Queensland. If you’re working with a regional community that needs to improve its understanding of grant writing, you need to talk to us.
