Grant Assessment MASTERCLASS

Discover what makes applications stand out, build assessor confidence, and increase your chances of funding success.

What makes one application stand out, while another gets rejected? What are grant assessors really looking for? And what are the common mistakes that can weaken an otherwise strong bid?

In this practical Grant Assessment MASTERCLASS, we will explore behind-the-scenes of the grant assessment process, sharing what assessors look for when making those all-important funding decisions.

Having reviewed hundreds of grants across a range of funders and grant programmes, Get Grants Director John Ellery will share valuable insights you can use to increase your application’s chance of success from over 20 years of experience assessing grant applications.

Gain a deeper understanding of how applications are assessed, how due diligence is carried out, what actually impacts your chance of success, and how to present your organisation in a way that gives assessors trust and confidence.

Whether you’re new to grant fundraising or looking to maximise your success rate, this session will help you see your applications through an assessor’s eyes and strengthen your approach to funding applications.

This session is ideal for charity fundraisers, senior leadership, and anyone involved in writing or reviewing grant applications for charitable organisations.
