Funding -
We Get It

At Good Projects Australia, we’ve helped charities, non-profits, social enterprises, art centres, Aboriginal corporations, and others secure tens of millions of dollars.

We’re not just office-based grant writers—we’ve been in the trenches ourselves. As former founders, CEOs, and non-profit managers, we understand what it takes to secure funding and deliver projects in real-world conditions. We’ve also worked as government grant assessors, giving us insight into what makes an application successful. Our approach is proactive, hands-on, and tailored to each organisation’s strengths.

We also recognise that many groups face barriers in the funding space, from limited resources to cultural considerations and language differences. We work closely with organisations to ensure their vision is communicated clearly and effectively, in a way that funders understand and value.

Our Services

We offer a full suite of funding services, from identifying opportunities to writing applications and managing reporting requirements.

    • Identify strengths and address gaps in your case for funding

    • Develop a long-term grant strategy to ensure ongoing opportunities

How We Work

Step 1: A Free Consultation

We start with a conversation to understand your organisation, funding needs, and goals. This may include a review of past applications, funding history, and potential opportunities.

Step 2: Research and Strategy

If you’re unsure which grants to apply for, we conduct research to identify the most suitable funding opportunities. If you already have a grant in mind, we assess eligibility and key requirements.

Step 3: Grant Writing and Documentation

We develop a high-quality, tailored application, ensuring all necessary documents—including project plans, budgets, letters of support and more—are in place.

Step 4: Review and Finalisation

Before submission, we conduct a full review to ensure compliance with funder expectations and refine the application for clarity and impact.

Step 5: Submission and Ongoing Support

Once the grant is submitted, we can assist with reporting, acquittals, and preparing for future funding rounds.

Payment and Fee Structure

We understand that different organisations have different financial capacities and funding models. That’s why we offer flexible payment structures to ensure our services are accessible while maintaining a high standard of quality and collaboration.

#1 Upfront Payment

Many clients opt for a straightforward hourly or flat fee model, providing certainty around costs from the outset. This can be tailored to suit the complexity and scope of the grant application.

#2 Partnership Model

For some projects, we offer a smaller upfront fee with the understanding that Good Projects Australia will be built into aspects of the grant delivery if the application is successful. This ensures an ongoing collaboration, allowing us to provide a broader range of support beyond just the grant application process.

#3 No-Win, No-Fee

In select cases, we offer a no-win, no-fee arrangement. This is typically reserved for organisations with which we have an established relationship and a strong level of trust. We invest our time where we see clear potential for impact and where long-term collaboration is possible.
