Keep your answers succinct and within the word limit: The Quick Response Grants Program receives lots of applications each year, and the panel of judges are tasked with reading each one of them. Your application should be straight to the point and clear and concise, so our panel do not miss vital information. To keep track of word limits when applying online, use a separate platform to display word count. To keep track of word limits when filling out a hard copy, draft your responses first before writing on the form.
Be specific, what are you working on. Detail how the grant will directly benefit your community: Use the form to discuss your projects while highlighting the long-term impact. Be as specific as you can when discussing what funding will be used towards, as we want to know it's going to be put to good use.
Save a copy of your application: Make sure to save a copy of your submission elsewhere for future reference and in case of technical difficulties.
Provide all necessary information within the answer sections: Unfortunately, additional material such as websites or linked information packs may not be considered. Be sure to include all information you want reviewed within the word limit.
Write persuasively: We want to hear why you need a grant, so the application should be persuasive and give us a good understanding of your group or organisation, the need for funding and why the project or work is worthy of a share of the funding.
Have someone else look over your application: Editing and reviewing are important to make sure your points are cohesive and succinct. It is also an effective way to check hyperlinks and remove duplicate information.
