    A Record-Breaking 3 Hour Grant Opening Window - with 3,000 applications received 😳

    Yesterday has to have been a record-breaker for Australia. There was a grant that opened at 9:30am and closed at 12:30pm, with 3,000 applications received! I'm seeing a lot more funders advertise a closing date, but state that they will close the grant program as soon as enough applications have been received. Yesterday, that only took 3 hours. Get my tips on how I managed to apply in time, and adopt them yourself to the next highly advertised, highly competitive, short timeframe grant program.

    Funding Projects that COULD work, not WILL work | Tom Dawkins - Co-Founder & CEO of StartSomeGood

    Are you up for a high-level, fast-paced, challenging conversation about some of the limitations of grants? This episode is not for the faint-hearted! Tom’s thoughts on grants and innovation is what led me to invite him onto Grants Uncovered. I wasn’t expecting this to be a cruisey, ‘grants-are-amazing’ conversation about grants. Rather, I was hoping we would get real about some of the downfalls and frustrations of grants, specifically, around some of the limitations that funding providers place on providing grants for truly innovative, risk-taking, cutting-edge projects. I got what I asked for! Show Notes: https://grantsuncovered.com
