Going through the grants process yourself I guess you can imagine why the teachers/p&c thought it would be a great "experience" for a student group to complete the grant application process!<br /><br />I've also applied for community grants for Guides and Scouts. The one thing that all grants processes have in common is that they are SO repetitive! It's like you write the same thing about twenty times with different wording...Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05508726869531597812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-91717056981731156882011-05-17T10:03:36.861+10:002011-05-17T10:03:36.861+10:00sorry, I have no advice to offer but wishing you g...sorry, I have no advice to offer but wishing you good luck on the grant!<br /><br />xoInkPaperPenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14595595934607152505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-18722076736993046022011-05-17T08:40:23.109+10:002011-05-17T08:40:23.109+10:00I didn't even know that you could!

Thankfully there were accountants and the like to deal w pesky issues involving numbers and budgets. I think I may have written the same grant app you are applying for for our primary school.

We've been successful in the past and usually get grant money when we clearly demonstrate a need and outlined the community benefits inb plain English. A phone call to your local member for a letter of support helps too.
