Grant Writer – It is Raining Grants! • Grant writer is regularly checks to see what grants are opening each week and conversely to identify if any are being withdrawn or are closing. • The professional organisation will be planning ahead looking at what grant opportunities are available and then matching these to the projects they require funding for. • April/May/June are generally excellent months for grant opportunities given Government agencies and Councils .
Will either need to expend money before the end of the financial year in order to be seen to have expended their budget for the year or to be seen to be starting the new financial year with a bang by announcing the funding of new successful grant applicants. • The quality grant writer will be across these opportunities and give their organisation the best chance of success by identifying the opportunity early. The earlier an organisation can start preparing to submit an application – the better quality the submission will be generally.
Grant Writing – Identifying Funding Opportunities • In the grant writing world, there are many funding opportunities out there that non profit and community organisations can access. • An experienced grant writer needs to be regularly identifying and reviewing funding options. To do this there are a number of different strategies that should be followed and implemented in order to identify as many suitable possible funding opportunities.
There are a number of databases that can be accessed . They have an excellent search engine and therefore can be used to search by type of organisation, location, funding amounts – in fact many different search criteria. • Being aware of any Council funding opportunities it is a great idea to contact your local Councillor and/or the local State and Federal Members of Parliament and ask to be put on their mailing list for any funding opportunities.
Tender Writer – Businesses need to focus on Quality • Tender opportunities really does require the skills of an outstanding Tender writer or they can engage these specialised skills via outsourcing to an experienced third party such as Red Tape Busters. • When they advertise, Tender writer is to identify if the proposing business can ensure the delivery of quality services and products at the price being proposed. • Quality is an essential ingredient of Government and Council agencies where they required suppliers to achieve formal accreditation to ISO Standards – generally ISO 9001.
If a business does not hold third party Quality accreditation, they place a premium focus on quality and in their response show their commitment to ensure that quality services or products are supplied on time first time every time. • some key initiatives that a business could consider include:- • References and written referrals from past clients . • Document policies and procedures. • Written statement committed to quality. • Quality Manual . • Internal Audits .
Tender Writing – Is Price Important? • Tender writing is complex at best and yes price is a very important consideration however price is not the be all and end all when tenders are being assessed. • Clients needs to be a competitive on price. • Considering tendering for Government, Council or commercial tenders, the smart business will do some competitor analysis in order to identify what price or rate your competitors might be proposing to offer. • Price is important but it is certainly not the only consideration.
I always believe more is better than less so where possible we want to use every opportunity and the experience and skills of our client in delivering on the contract and therefore instead of yes/no answers we try where possible to provide a comprehensive answer to the questions posed in the tender. • Don’t be conservative in your response and don’t be cheap with the volume of your response. Be measured, comply with the requirements of the tender but use the opportunity to increase your chances of selling the pertinent messages to maximise your chances of success.
