With just a few mentoring sessions, we secured over $100,000! Thank you Natalie
Val Watson, Home Start National
I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for the amazing training in Byron last month, your delivery was fantastic and the content was just what we needed. After doing the training we have just secured two major sponsors. I am the social butterfly rather than an amazing writer, thanks for giving us the tools to make this happen
Alice Cadwell, General Manager Spaghetti Circus Inc
Great meeting. We loved it. More importantly, we observed your unique skills and experience in constructing funding approaches. You are very creative! There is certainly a special technique to it. It’s so easy to get it wrong and record failures. Thank you.
David Hughes, Central Coast Symphony Orchestra
Helping you find the money; develop your project; find support and partners; write your submission or provide review and assessment support and help with acquittals….. it’s all part of what we do!
An email I received recently – don’t let this situation happen to you!
‘Thank you so much for the very pertinent information at yesterday’s workshop. Timely information as today I had a formal review session on a submission we missed out on.
Would you believe one of the key issues?
That point you referred to on not having “formal agreements” rather than letters of support; the case of the missing MOU. The minute the words rolled out of the assessor, I recalled your point!’

Typical comments from clients and workshop participants*:
‘Natalie is very generous giving us so many valuable tips and ‘insider secrets’. A great day, so much new information to think about, thanks.’
‘The real examples she used really helped me separate good from bad (responses)’.
‘Natalie is a great presenter – very engaging!’
‘I need to lock Natalie in my cupboard so I can bring her out every time I need her, she’ssuch a wealth of information!‘
‘Natalie brings a wealth of experience to grant writing. she really added value to an important vehicle for non-profits’
Good examples, I could easily think of ways our organisation can apply them.‘
Really enjoyed the Grant writing workshop in Sydney. I just wish the course could be extended by a couple of hours. There was a huge amount of material to cover. VERY useful. I’m already using the Organisation Template to direct the Board’s thinking as we prepare for grant applications. Thanks Natalie! Chris Ekstrom
