Grant Writing Case Study 5

This is Case Study 5 in our series of grant writing articles
highlighting different cases and strategies we at Red Tape Busters
have worked on since we commenced business in 2000. This article
will focus on how to create some selling points when preparing a
grant application for a rural based organisation.
The skilled grant writer will be able to easily sell the project and
the need for funding if the organisation is based in a rural or remote
area. Rarely if ever are we unsuccessful with a grant submission for a
rural or remote organisation.

With this particular organisation they were seeking funding for a
youth based training and skills development program. Given most of
the youth had left town over the years and the general population
numbers were dwindling the organisation felt they did not really have
a sound case to pursue funding.
Our skilled grant writer however initially worked with the client on
their project and worked hard to identify what sorts of training and
skills development did the local young people need. To identify this
we developed a survey which was sent to all of the people in town
seeking their views and input.

5 consultation process we identified that the main
After an extensive
area for jobs in and around the area was in customer services so we
developed a project to train and skill the young people in delivering
outstanding customer service and in being able to work in a shop, be
part of a team and accept money, use a register and acquit money at
the end of the day.
We then discussed the project with a number of businesses and
gained their support to employ the young people once they
completed the training IF funding was provided. We ensured we
obtained letters of support from each business.

We then identified the perfect funding program to pursue and our
grant writer then set about creating an amazing grant writing story
which identified why young people were leaving town, identifying the
findings of our research and consultation, detailing the impacts of the
drought in the area the economic impacts, the mental impacts and
the massive social impacts and then identified how this project
supported the focus of the funding program AND how this project
would benefit the young people AND the community.

Further we reinforced that employers would employ these young
people if they had the right skills and attitude to work hard and
deliver outstanding service to their clients. Many businesses did not in
fact have a vacancy but came on board because they could see this
project was vital to the survival of the community.
Through the fantastic efforts of our grant writer, we were successful
in winning $75k in funding for this great project. Another outstanding
grant writing success by the team at Red Tape Busters.
