First things to note and do before you start your funding is –
Do your budgets - if you are more than 80% reliant on funding, you need to seriously look at other revenue streams. You should see Funding as a bonus - if you get it! Understand that funding is not guaranteed.
Prioritise what you need Funding for! Do you really need it? Does your Project benefit the community? Can you work with other sports or community organisations?
If you get funding – say THANK YOU and acknowledge them and the charitable trust industry and the support it gives to your community. As your support really makes a difference to the charitable trusts giving back in to the community. Otherwise if goes and so does your community funding!
The following is a few tools to help with your funding –
