Most grant applications don’t stall in the writing.

They stall before things are even clear.

If you’ve ever started a grant and found it hard to keep things moving… you’re not alone.

So I’m running a free, practical workshop: From Stalled to Moving on Your Grant Applications

This is a live, hands-on session where I’ll guide you through a simple exercise so you can actually make progress on your own grant while you’re there.

You’ll also get a worksheet to help you pull everything together.

📅 12 May
🕙 10:00am (AEST)
📍 Live on Zoom

If you’ve ever started a grant application and found it hard to keep things moving, this workshop will help you take the next step. In this free, live session, I’ll walk you through a simpler way to approach your grant applications - so you’re not trying to pull everything together at the last...

Know someone preparing a grant right now?
Grant Buddie has been busy helping grant seekers get organised before they start writing.

She’s a free tool designed to support the prepare phase of a grant application - the part where you:
• Clarify your project
• Identify gaps
• Structure your thinking
• Build a solid foundation

Before the pressure of writing kicks in.

If you (or someone in your network) is working on a grant, you’re welcome to try her out.

Here’s the link:

And if you know someone who’d benefit, feel free to share this post with them.

A clear, calm start makes all the difference.

Why grants feel overwhelming at the start.
Many organisations want to apply for grants but feel unsure where to begin.

Most people don’t struggle because they can’t write.
They struggle because the preparation step hasn’t been done.

Grant Buddie is a free tool designed to help with the Prepare stage of grant writing - before applications and before overwhelm sets in.

This short video explains why preparation matters.

💬 Where do you tend to get stuck - preparing for grants, or writing the application?

She’s here 😊

Grant Buddie is now available - a free tool I’ve created to help you get prepared for grants before you start applying.

Most people don’t struggle with grants because they can’t write.
They struggle because they’re not sure what to do at the beginning.

Grant Buddie helps you:
• clarify your project
• work out if funding is the right move
• prepare properly so the process feels manageable

She’s the younger sister of Grant Genie, and she’s designed especially for people who are new to grants or feeling stuck.

As the year winds down, I just wanted to say hello and let you know you’re in my thoughts.

It’s a quiet time in the grant world, with many funders offline until January. A natural pause before things pick up again.

I’ve got a big year planned for 2026 and I’m really looking forward to staying connected - sharing ideas, guidance and support to help make grants feel clearer and more manageable.

Wishing you a gentle end to the year.
Prue 💜

📌 Grant Tip #4: A great support letter shows how your project benefits the supporter’s community.

Support letters aren’t just about endorsing your work - they’re about demonstrating relevance to others.

✔️ The strongest letters show how your project aligns with the goals, values, or priorities of the organisation providing the letter.
✔️ They reinforce trust and can be a powerful third-party endorsement in competitive funding rounds.

When well written, a support letter strengthens your credibility and positions your project as part of a wider ecosystem of impact.

📌 Grant Tip #3: Check how long the grant cycle takes - apply early so your timeline stays on track.

Every grant has its own timing - from application deadlines to assessment periods, approval windows, and funding release dates. If you don’t plan around these timelines, your project delivery can get delayed or derailed.

✔️ Always check the full grant cycle: when it opens, closes, is assessed, and when funds are likely to hit your account.
✔️ Build buffer time into your project planning to avoid last-minute surprises.

At Indigo Gold, we help clients align project milestones with funding cycles to keep everything moving forward smoothly.

☕ Happy International Coffee Day from IndigoGold!

Is it just us, or does coffee deserve co-author credit on a lot of grant applications? 😄

There’s something about that warm cup beside your laptop - when the ideas start flowing, the structure takes shape, and the “what if we really got this funding?” moment hits.

Whether you’re deep in your 10th proposal this year or just dreaming up your next big idea - here’s to the rituals that help us focus, create, and show up for the work that matters.

👉 What’s in your cup today?
Are you team Long Black, latte, tea… or something stronger? (No judgement, it’s grant season.)
