Writing grant applications and funding bids is challenging and time consuming. This workshop will guide you through the process of project planning while helping you to understand the key principles of writing applications and avoiding commonly made mistakes.
Through writing exercises and discussion, you will explore:
- How to understand what funders want
- Interpreting funding criteria
- Clarifying your objectives and outcomes
- Developing a structured approach to planning, writing and editing a funding application.
The Royal Literary Fund provides these courses free of charge, delivered by professional writers. However, there is a small administrative fee per place to cover room hire, administration, and trainer support costs, helping Voluntary Action Leeds deliver the course locally.
