Testimonials

“I have worked with Strategic Grants for close to three years to create a successful Trust and Foundation program. The team have a great aptitude for understanding the needs of our organisation. This made Strategic Grants stand out from similar agencies I have previous engaged with. They pay close attention to all the needs of our organisation and ensure only quality application and critiques are put forward. Every team member is personally driven to make a positive difference in the fundraising space and their attitude reflects our organisational values of integrity, success and respect. Strategic Grants’ versatile way of working and experience in non-for-profit only added to the benefits they brought to our organisation. I would not hesitate to recommend the Strategic Grants team to any of my networks.”  Alex Cross, Bolton Clarke

“I can see how the webinar (30 minute best practice that is part of GEM Local package) could support the practice of a number of our local groups and community organisations. The delivery, content and examples were very informative, easy to understand and on target for the audience.”  Auckland Council

“GEMS is wonderful, and so are the great Strategic Grants Team who always make you feel like nothing is too much trouble.”  Robbie Franco, previous GEM Portal user

I’m so glad that I took the step to phone Strategic Grants –we now have excellent systems and consistent strong key messaging for applications that give us a more favourable opportunity for grant funding.” Ruth Davy, HELP Auckland

“The webinar was just perfect, we cannot thank enough! It will be a wonderful resource going forward.”  Nicole Wright, Country Education Foundation of Australia (CEF)

"Having conducted an in-depth review of Heart Foundation's grants program, Strategic Grants has worked with the Heart Foundation to establish centralised strategies to best position the organisation for grants success. This has been successful in changing and establishing new and effective processes as we continue to work towards building an effective grants program."  Heart Foundation

"We have been using the Strategic Grants GEM Portal since 2016 and have had great results. It has helped us to communicate funding opportunities with academics, as well as to assist us with increasing the culture of philanthropy across the university. We have also worked with the Strategic Grants team to educate our academics on how to rework previous applications, including Category 1 research grants, for philanthropic funders."  Macquarie University

"The team at Strategic Grants have been fantastic, with incredibly helpful advice, willingness to visit us at our institution, and a fantastic Grants workshop. They are so contactable and communicative and offer advice above and beyond. They have worked closely with our organisation to learn and fully understand about what we aim to achieve in the coming year(s) and as a result we are anticipating huge cost-saving implications and supported raised income levels for Flinders University, from trusts and foundations. Couldn’t recommend more highly and look forward to a continuing relationship."  Flinders University

"Strategic Grants wrote a Key Messages document for us which captured all the essential information - in one place - about who we are and what we do."  Claremont & South Port Aged Care Ltd

“Thank you for all your work and patience. The outcome is excellent and will be very valuable.”  BlueCare
