How to use a grants calendar to find and win grants
A grants calendar is essential for anyone in Australia who wants to find and apply for relevant community grants, education grants, government grants, business grants, and/or any other type of grant.
This simple but powerful tool helps you keep track of grant deadlines, monitor your workflow, set priorities, and reflect on past applications. A grants calendar empowers you to use your resources effectively and efficiently and apply for only the right grants, on time, every time.
Whether you’ve been using a grants calendar for a while or just getting started, here are our tips on how to use a grants calendar to succeed in 2022.
Our grants calendar is easy to use and will really boost your productivity - so naturally we have this feature in mind as the template you should be using for your grants pipeline planning!

What grants should you add to your calendar?
Grants with future deadlines that align with your needs
Grants you were successful with previously and want to apply for again
Grants you were unsuccessful with previously and want to apply for again
Grants that are currently closed to applications but are likely to recur in the future (tip: grants that have had multiple rounds previously or that identify with ‘round 1’ are likely candidates for future rounds - including philanthropic grants, corporate foundation grants, federal and state government grants)
‘Always open’ grants that you can apply to at any time.
Make your grants calendar a one-stop-shop by adding your own grants and other dates to your grants calendar - for example:
Grants that you’ve been invited to apply to by the funding provider
