Success Stories – Real Grants Won

Real results speak for themselves. Over the years, our clients have secured millions in grants.

At Nagambie Healthcare, we are deeply appreciative of the exceptional expertise and support provided by Pat in securing the Aged Care Approval Round grant from the Department of Health and Aged Care. Her profound understanding of funding pathways, coupled with strategic vision and unwavering dedication, transformed a complex process into a seamless and successful endeavor. Pat went above and beyond to understand our mission and tailor the grant application to reflect the heart of our organisation’s work.

Alison Flenley

CEO/DON

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.

Pat has been an incredible support. Her willingness to assist every step of the way and wealth of knowledge have been invaluable. With her can-do attitude, efficiency and skill, she has enabled us to achieve great things and we are truly grateful!
