Grantful Case Studies
$1m+ Secured Through Strategic Grants Mentoring
The Challenge
A growing domestic and family violence charity was struggling to gain traction with NSW ClubGrants. Their in-house writer was daunted by the volume of applications required across multiple regions and lacked a clear strategy for navigating the specific nuances of the ClubGrants scheme. Yet they had witnessed similar services achieve funding success.
The Solution
Grantful implemented a mentoring program to build internal capability. We provided the strategic framework—guiding the team on how to identify local and regional priorities, determine appropriate ask amounts, and engage local clubs—while their writer drafted the applications. This collaborative process created a powerful, reusable template for future submissions.
The Outcome
The initial engagement generated over $250,000 for the charity, but the true value was the creation of a scalable system. The charity are set-up to repeat this level of success themselves without us.
This same mentoring model has also achieved success for charities in the disability, counselling, and mental health sectors, securing a combined total of over $1 million in ClubGrants funding—including success in the highly competitive Infrastructure Grants category, where fewer than 10% of applications succeed.
