CLIENT CONFIDENTIALITY

This year was also our pilot year of using professional grant writers to assist with funding applications. Grantseeking Solutions have been a pleasure to work with, with $65,000 in successful philanthropic funding received and a number of other applications pending. Not a bad effort for the first year and while in a Global Economic Crisis and a Federal Government in funding reviews. Funding was received from Coca-Cola Foundation for development of Volunteering, Collier Charitable Fund and Sunshine Foundation for Protective Behaviour Workshops in schools, Grosvenor Foundation for Encore in Katherine, Optus Connecting Communities for computers for Outreach Education and Honda Foundation for furniture and white goods for the 6th Doctor Helen Phillipps Cottages house.
