The Grant Writing Help Desk - Your One-Stop Grant Writing Solution

We often get asked questions such as:

Is grant writing difficult?
How does grant writing work?
How do we write a winning grant application?
What is the grant writing process?
What services do you offer?
Can you write an application for us?

We know the complexities of the grants system. Our principal grants expert, Pat Grosse, has worked on both sides of the funding fence over a period of 30 years, and has achieved successes such as:

Taking clients from $2,000 to $1,000,000 in grant income in 18 months.

Working with the seed of a project idea that attracted $25,000, then $50,000 and eventually reached over $1,000,000 in funding as each success led to more growth.

Helping clients out of crisis on the one hand, and leading to awards on the other.

What Our Clients Are Saying

“Pat’s ability to take our concept, ideas and fit them with a suitable funding grant is exceptional. She understand our vision, organisation and always encourages us to look a further opportunities. Pat’s manner, understanding of people, organisation and funding requirements is a credit to her”

Karen Marsh

Aged Care provider

Pat Grosse: Community Entrepreneur. Faced with the bewildering challenge of compiling a credible case for government financial assistance, our small committee was greatly relieved to discover Pat and her Community Entrepreneur service. Pat readily grasped our circumstances, guided and completed the Grant submission with us resulting in successful outcomes in each instance. We continue to regard Pat as an integral support to our business in these challenging times. Pat’s warm and engaging personality helps to negotiate the arcane ritual of grant application.

Doug Westland

Committee Member

“Pat has been writing our major grants for the past three years at least and we have enjoyed great success in a sector where competition for funds is hotly contested. She is always very thorough in her approach beginning with ensuring we all have a good understanding of what it is the funder is looking for and being able to integrate their needs to the aims, objectives and stated outcomes of the project or program for which we are seeking funding”

Kingi Williams

CEO/Founder Daystar Foundation

FEATURED TESTIMONIAL

Last week I completed with Pat Grosse of Get That Grant, the exercise modules of the Grant Writing Coaching Course including mentoring programme. This involved weekly live sessions running through the modules, with the actual mentoring of specific applications to follow over the next few months.

I accidentally came across this Course at a time when I was feeling the need for investigating the process of writing grant applications – I suppose it was a case of when the need is there, the teacher will appear. Had I not at the time had the resources to take the full programme, rather than just purchasing the written course, I probably would never have considered it important to include the mentoring portion of the programme.

Having now been through that process, I can only say that it is terribly important. It reinforces everything in the written course/recorded lessons, but just seems to “hit home” more on all sorts of little pointers, anecdotes and experiences. A couple of group sessions have also proved to be very enlightening as to others thoughts and experiences, particularly as a couple of the members are already involved in the process.

I always thought I studied better by reading – this has proven otherwise. It has been a very interesting exercise and I now need to put all the learning into action. I can highly recommend this to anyone thinking of taking the plunge and go with the full programme.
