Bid Writing

Overview

TOPICS COVERED

Do you know the most common reasons for rejection? Are you gathering the right evidence? Are you making the right arguments? Are you using the right terminology? Are your numbers right? Are you learning from rejections? Are you assembling the right documents? Do you know how to create a clear and concise standard funding bid? Are you communicating with people or just excluding them? Do you know your own organisation well enough? Are you thinking through your projects carefully enough? Do you know enough about your competitors? Are you answering the questions funders will ask themselves about your application? Are you submitting applications correctly?

What you will learn

WORKSHOP FORMAT

Workshops consist of talk, discussions, questions and answers. There are no power points or audio visuals used. Each workshop follows a script. By using scripts more topics can be covered in less time with complete accuracy. If you don't like listening to someone talk then you won't enjoy the workshop. Participants are sent a full copy of the script by email after the workshop. Many participants have found it useful to have a copy of a script which matched word for word what was said on the workshop.

What you require

PARTICIPANTS

Staff members, volunteers, trustees or board members of charities, schools, not for profits or public sector organisations who intend to submit grant funding applications to charitable grant making trusts and foundations. People who provide advice to these organisations are also welcome.
