Looking for specialist support at a realistic cost?

We can help you become GrantWise.

To find success, you need to be competitive.

Most grant funding is decided on a competitive basis. That means even if you’re eligible to apply, you’re not guaranteed a successful outcome. You need to make your case and be assessed against government merit criteria. At GrantWise, our services have been designed to support you through this process, giving you the best possible chance of success.

We decode government policy

Governments speak their own language, and what they expect from a winning application can be muddled with a lot of policy jargon. At GrantWise, we’re skilled at deciphering the details. We’ll explain what’s needed to help you make the right decisions. And we’ll streamline the process and save you time.

We speak the government’s language

Responding to merit criteria is an art unto itself. Regardless of your project strengths, responses that don’t comply generally fail. You need an application that’s well-prepared, structured and written in a particular style. At GrantWise, we’re experienced at taking complex, highly technical terminology concepts and converting them into a straightforward explanation that the government can understand.

GrantWise can do this because we are:
Highly experienced, strategic grant and incentive professionals
Personalised with a dynamic approach
Committed to client service

Our grant and incentive services.

At GrantWise, we guide you through the process of finding and applying for government grants and incentives. Here’s our five-step cycle:

Step 1
Identify

Governments allocate billions of dollars in grant and incentive funding, and every program has unique guidelines and requirements. Deciding where to target your efforts can be overwhelming and time-consuming. We help you identify suitable programs aligned to your organisation’s strategic objectives. This gives you leverage against your competition through access to professional advice, and speed to apply for grants efficiently.

Step 2

Strategise

Once you’ve decided to apply for funding, it’s crucial to develop the right application strategy before you delve into the writing. We will discuss various options to make your case as strong as possible against the merit criteria. This option is perfect for applicants wanting to prepare their own documentation and can be combined with an application review by us.

Step 3

Apply

To prepare a winning grant and incentive application, you need to address the merit criteria with precision. We can manage the entire application process from Identify to Strategise, including engaging with collaborators, building partnerships, and preparing written material against merit criteria along with project plans, business cases, and a cost-benefit analysis report.

Step 4

Comply

After securing funding, we can assist you with post-offer compliance including funding negotiations and milestone reporting. We can support you to negotiate modifications to your funding agreement.

Step 5

Corporate Services

Additionally, GrantWise can support you with tender responses and other government engagement services, including government relation strategies and submissions to public enquiries. Emily is well-placed to step in and a skilled communicator at all levels of government.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Find answers to common questions about our process, services, and grants.

What grants can I get?

The million-dollar question, literally! The grant and incentive space is dynamic and complex. Grant funding is awarded depending on a range of factors, including your organisation’s size, turnover, industry and growth objectives. Plus, new programs can be announced at short notice. To truly capitalise on the power of grant funding, you need a grants and incentives specialist in your corner who anticipates and understands the nuances of the space.

How is the funding awarded?

The allocation of government funding is heavily regulated by legislation, regulation or other formal directives. To apply for competitive funding, applicants are usually required to respond to merit criteria aligned with government objectives. At GrantWise, we talk you through the process and cut through the bureaucratic jargon to enable you to submit a strong application.

Can I apply for funding from more than one program?

Yes, you can. While there are some restrictions around cost ‘double dipping’, exploring how to maximise your funding opportunities from various programs is important. We can help you develop a strategy so you can take advantage of every possible opportunity to grow your organisation.
