Funding Ready – Organisation and Project Descriptions – May

A strong funding application starts with clear, compelling descriptions – both of your organisation and of the project you want funded. Many applications fail because these sections are too vague, too long, or don’t give funders the information they need.

This practical workshop is designed to support community groups, charities, faith groups and Community Interest Companies (CICs) in Lincolnshire to write stronger, more confident organisation and project descriptions that improve their chances of funding success.

You’ll explore what funders look for, how to avoid common mistakes, and how to use simple frameworks to communicate your purpose, track record, need, outcomes and impact.
