Fundraising: Schools access more than $140,000 in funding so far, this year!

Funding Connection; connecting schools, charitable trusts and not-for-profit organisations to funding opportunities.

Are your funding applications a ‘hit’ and ‘miss’?

Does your school spend their Operational Budget on ICT equipment, EOTC, school or sports uniforms or music equipment? These are just some of the items that are fundable.

Helen Whitcombe uses her knowledge, research skills and strong ability to think outside the square to source the funders that each client is eligible to apply to.

“Funding applications are a team effort, YOU know your school and I know what funders want to see in an application. We work together to compose a compelling, detailed application, without the waffle.”

Her secret?

“Funding Connection came about because of my passion for helping people. It encompasses 30 years of working in the health, disability and education sectors plus volunteering with community organisations including: CCS Disability Action, ADHD Association, Autism NZ, Blind Foundation of NZ, Auckland Deaf Sign Singers and Lions.”

Following the Autism Spectrum diagnosis of her son and struggling to access support, information and funding, Helen was determined to make a difference in schools to ensure they were accessing all the funding providers they were entitled to apply to; not just the ones they apply to year after year.

“I understand emphatically that schools require funding over and above that provided by Government and school donations.”

On a Contract for Services you will learn how to compile a funding application for maximum impact.
