15.01.2022 GRANT GUIDANCE || Updating organisation details Tim is a volunteer at a local men’s shed which had been successful in receiving a GCBF grant in a previous round. Three years later, he decided to apply for another grant for additional tools and machinery. He knew it was important to read the funding guidelines, to make sure he didn’t miss any possible new changes. When he read them again, he noted the requirement for organisations to regularly update their registration detai...ls, especially when applying for a new grant Tim jumped on to the portal to confirm the organisation’s contact information was current. He remembered that the guidelines also stated that failure to provide current financial information (no more than two years old) would deem the organisation and application ineligible. He immediately contacted the treasurer of the men’s shed and asked for a copy of the latest financial statement. Tim updated the club’s financial details and applied for a new grant. Taking that 10 minutes to ensure his organisation’s details were up to date meant that his application would be assessed and potentially funded. Top job, Tim!

12.01.2022 GRANT GUIDANCE || Submitting a variation Do you know how to apply for a GCBF grant variation? Sonya does. ... Sonya had applied for a GCBF grant to purchase a lawn mower on behalf of her football club. While waiting to see if the application was successful the club was fortunate enough to have a mower donated to them by a local business. Sonya later received news that her GCBF grant application had been successful. Although the club didn’t need the funds for a mower now, there were still other landscaping tools they could use to help keep the football fields in tip-top condition. Sonya knew from reading the guidelines when she applied for the grant that she could submit a variation form to ask for approval to spend the funds on other items the club needs. She submitted the variation and explained the club could really benefit from a new whipper snipper and brush cutter. As these items were in line with the original purpose of the grant her variation request was approved and she purchased the items. On ya, Sonya!

11.01.2022 Grant guidance Waiting one round Juan is a member of his school's P&C. He was so excited when the group received a GCBF grant to upgrade the school’s playground. He made sure the funds were used correctly and logged in to the portal to acquit the grant by the due date. Once Juan was advised the application was fully acquitted, the P&C decided to submit a new grant application for a tuckshop upgrade. The first thing Juan did was go to the GCBF website and check to see if t...he P&C was eligible to apply again so soon after acquitting a grant. He learnt that grants are allocated in a series of rounds and that once a grant has been acquitted an organisation has to wait one round before submitting a new application. Juan saw that GCBF Round 107 was currently open, making the P&C unable to apply. He marked in his calendar the approximate time Round 108 would open, for which the P&C would be eligible to apply. Juan saved valuable time and effort by reading the eligibility criteria in the funding guidelines . Way to go, Juan! http://bit.ly/3bS3jne
