What is an Everlasting Grant?

EVERLASTING GRANTS 

Many voluntary organizations
and community groups,
are trapped on the
hamster wheel of grants.

They work on applications.
They apply and get funding.
They spend it.
They go again.

They work on applications.
They apply and get funding.
They spend it.
They go again.

But we can step off
the hamster wheel,
with an Everlasting Grant.

You see, every grant offers
the opportunity to create a product
or service, at the same time
as we deliver the work.

Your training course, your support
service, your advice, your report and
case studies, can all be captured,
and then shared.

Every grant offers us the potential
to create new products, share
our experience and bring us
income on an ongoing basis.

Everlasting Grants are  stepping
stones to financial sustainability,
If only we can
get off the hamster wheel.
