Community organisations across the Northern Rivers are being offered the chance to boost their funding skills with a series of free grant writing workshops coming to Evans Head, Lismore, and Casino this August.
Hosted by the Northern Rivers Community Foundation (NRCF), the workshops are open to not-for-profits, local charities, and community groups keen to strengthen their impact by accessing essential funding.
“These workshops are about breaking down the barriers grassroots organisations face when applying for grants,” said NRCF CEO Sam Henderson. “We want to give local groups the confidence and skills to write stronger applications and secure the support they need.”
Led by NRCF’s expert grants team, the sessions will focus on practical skills, including:
- Finding the right grant opportunities
- Designing clear, impactful projects
- Writing persuasive applications
- Budgeting and evaluation
- Avoiding common mistakes—including the misuse of AI
Attendees will also review successful local grant examples, take part in peer discussions, and participate in a Q&A.
Workshop Locations:
- Lismore Library – Thursday 21 August, 10am–1pm
- Casino RSM – Friday 22 August, 10am–1pm
Places are limited and bookings are essential. Register now at: www.nrcf.org.au/2026-grant-writing-workshops
