Hi, looking for recommendations for a consultant to assist with applying for farming grants.
There are also the Regional Agriculture Landcare Facilitators (RALF) that can support farmers/farmer groups with farming grants. Follow this link to find the RALF for your area https://www.agriculture.gov.au/ag-farm-food/natural-resources/landcare/national-landcare-program/landcare-facilitators the RALF is a good starting point for sourcing information or contacts relating to agriculture
Are you looking for help to find suitable funding or assistance in completing the applications? There are a number of sites to find suitable grants for free, but it does take time to read the emails and guidelines to find suitable funding programs. some business charge a fee to access their database but does give you a search option and look at what is currently open.
Most funding providers are more tha happy to answer questions to help work out if your project is inline with guidelines and funding objectives.
There are grant writing services out there, if you choose to use one please be careful of the fees many charge a fee to complete the application and then a % of the total grant amount as a sucess fee.
Keep in mind some grants are considered taxable income so if applying for larger grants disuss with your accountant.
I worked for a grant writing company for 2 years and honestly you are the best person to complete the grant, you know exactly what the project is, how it will work, the risks and the beheifts, The guidelins and required information can be overwhelming, but your accountant can help with a lot of the finacial requirements.
