Environmental grant writing for school staff

School staff, educators, teacher aides and playgroup leaders that live or work in Brimbank are invited to attend an upcoming environmental grant workshop to learn how to write a successful application.

The event is tailored towards school staff who are looking to apply for environment-related school grants for their respective schools.

The hands-on workshop will focus on transforming ideas into fundable concepts and will include step by step guidance throughout the entire grant making process.

The workshops will touch on a range of things, including, where to find the money for the grant, introduction to the grant making cycle, writing a 50-word grab, understanding the guidelines and assessment criteria, working with partners, answering the questions in the application form, building a project budget as well as support material.

The free workshop will take place at the Visy Cares Hub, located at 80B Harvester Road in Sunshine, on Thursday, August 17, from 4-6pm.

The workshop is a Brimbank Teachers’ Environment Network (TEN) professional development event and will be facilitated by community development practitioner and creative entrepreneur, Debby Maziarz. Ms Maziarz has experience in sourcing funds, including founding Melbourne’s Westside Circus and the Debby Maziarz Production.
