What info is required to write a grant application?
In a nutshell – the information you are required to provide to council is an outline of: • who you are • what you are planning to do • a specific set of objectives and • a predetermined cost. There is also a number of accounting, administrative and legal issues that may need to be dealt with, particularly by newly formed community groups. Before starting the grant application, be clear about any implications for your group regarding: Incorporated status Contact Consumer Affairs and Fair Trading about becoming an incorporated organisation. GST registration and an ABN All non-profit organisations with an annual turnover of $100 000 or more must register for GST and therefore need an ABN . Public liability insurance Your organisation needs public liability insurance to hold a public event. Talk to council if you need further advice on these topics when applying for grant. See Q.14 for ‘Tips on writing y our grant application’.
