Granted:  How to get funding and deliver successful projects

A series of workshops were held during March and April 2013.  The workshops appealed groups and organisations looking for funding to support the environment in their region and provided an invaluable opportunity to build and share knowledge.  The workshops were conducted over two sessions, with the afternoon offering a choice for specific groups. 

The morning session assisting with building the framework for a successful project, and content included:

  • types of funding available
  • matching ideas to funding
  • project planning, delivery and reporting

Two different sessions in the afternoon were run concurrently.

  • Session one, was specifically designed for councils to provide advice and assistance on the current Coastal, Estuary and Floodplain Management grant programs.
  • Session two, provided delegates the opportunity to develop their project idea with the assistance of OEH staff.
