Applying for grants

The important thing to remember when writing funding applications is that every funder is different, so every application should be different. Funders are only likely to fund you if they support the particular kind of work your group is doing, so finding the right funders, and writing your application to show how you fit into their priorities, is really important.

This section will help you to find the right funders for your group, write application letters, fill in application forms and approach businesses to ask for donations.
