Who our bid-writing courses are for

Previous attendees include fundraisers from a variety of backgrounds, for example charities, community groups, sports clubs, and schools – all with differing levels of experience. Whether you are looking to hone your existing grant fundraising skills, or you want to write your very first application – this course will be relevant for you.

What to expect

The Get Grants Bid-Writing Course clarifies the grant funding process, so that you leave the course with a more assured approach to the task of grant fundraising. We use our training course to share our insights and experience from inside the world of grant fundraising and grant giving, setting you on the right path and arming you with the information you need to make the best use of your time and energy spent fundraising.

What topics we cover

On our Bid-Writing Course, you will cover a range of topics to equip you with a solid foundation of grant fundraising best practice. You will:

  • Discover how to find funding opportunities and how to decide which funds are right for you.
  • Learn different tactics you can use to argue Need.
  • Explore Impact and Outcomes.
  • Look at what makes a good budget.
  • Investigate common errors, reasons applications are rejected, and top tips for increasing your success rates.
  • Consider different types of applications, including how to create proposals to Trusts and Foundations.
  • Understand how applications are assessed and start to look at your applications from the perspective of the funder.

Our Bid-Writing Course sessions are open and conversational, with a mix of group work and individual tasks, offering a friendly and relaxed environment with plenty of opportunities to ask questions throughout the day.
