Securing necessary funding can be challenging for any community or voluntary organisation. Whether you are looking for a small grant to cover running costs or project funding to try something new, we can help you to source relevant and appropriate funding from local as well as national funders (including specifically rural funding). Moreover, if you have your own property or other assets which you can use as collateral, loan funding may be another option for you, and we can help you to source that at attractive rates of interest.

We are experienced in preparing applications of all types and can help you ensure that you have collected all of the information you need to make your application as strong as it can be.  We also run Funding Surgeries with our partners both in Perth and in rural locations. In addition, we provide training on funding issues (see Training Calendar).

We can also support you through the processes of preparing costings, creating systems to deliver, monitor and manage the work being undertaken, reporting to service users, trustees and funders, and reflecting on associated organisational development issues.

You can search for funding. Click on the funding search link in the main menu.
