1.2 Identify the needs of the community
It is not just the organisation applying for the grant that will be impacted by the
grant funds. Any project undertaken will affect the broader community. It is
essential to investigate this broader impact to include in a grant application.

Time will need to be invested into sourcing and highlighting all external and
internal resources and their requirements. Will trades need to be brought in to
complete work? What can be achieved at the organisations level? What resources
will everyone need?

requirements

strategic plan prepared so it can be included in the grant application.

Clear and concise project goals will avoid all confusion about the project when
applying to the funding body.

should be included when grant writing.
