Understanding the process and how to pitch your application is vital.

Time and effort is required to make a well-presented application for grant aid. And it's always time well spent. There are many organisations that offer grant assistance to events and festivals, usually with a view to promoting tourism, culture or community activity.

Such grants have deadlines at different times throughout the year. Just knowing the right time to apply and to whom, is a massive advantage towards winning grant aid.

Preparing your application is like preparing a business plan. Do it well and you reap rewards, but failing to present it properly can result in failure and frustration.

Our team have a track record of helping groups to make well-structured, professionally presented, and well thought-out submissions. We know the correct times to apply and understand what the grant authority is looking for.

Your event can benefit significantly from our expertise in this area, and we are confident that we can strengthen your grant applications.

How to be successful - appreciate the level of detail required, know what they are looking for.

Every grant authority has a mandate. They want to support events and festivals that match their particular objectives.

The GR8 team communicates regularly with all the grant authorities ensuring awareness of the current mandate and aid focus, and uses this knowledge to make excellent applications.

Be professional, structured, and clear in your objectives.

Good application preparation seems to be an obvious requirement, but groups often fail at this first hurdle.

We fill in the forms, review and tweak submissions, prepare supporting documents, pay attention to detail and watch carefully for deadline dates.

GR8 will ensure that you submit relevant, clear, and quality information to support your application and maximise your chances of success.
