GrantReview

Check the fit and identify what to strengthen

I review the funding opportunity alongside your project, goals, proposed outcomes, budget and available supporting evidence. The review considers the published eligibility criteria, program priorities, timing and application requirements, then identifies where your project appears aligned and where more information, development or clarification may be needed.

This service suits organisations that have found a grant and want an informed assessment before applying. It is useful for not-for-profits, community organisations, sporting clubs, businesses and other eligible applicants weighing up a Queensland or Australian funding opportunity. It can also help when a draft application exists and you want a considered review of its clarity, evidence and fit with the criteria.

Before I begin, I’ll confirm the scope of the review with you. This may include reviewing guidelines and project material, discussing questions, identifying potential gaps or risks, and giving clear recommendations on what to strengthen. The review is proportionate and practical: it focuses on the decisions and changes most relevant to the opportunity rather than rewriting material without a clear reason.

You receive an assessment of fit and prioritised recommendations to inform your next step. That may mean proceeding, gathering more evidence, refining the project or deciding not to apply. I do not guarantee eligibility or success; funding decisions are made by the relevant funder.

I support organisations in Cairns and Far North Queensland and across Australia. If you are preparing a grant application, contact me to discuss a Grant Review. I’ll help clarify what material is useful for an initial assessment.
