My name is Keith Whelan. I became known as “The Grants Guy” when I first started out writing and proof-reading Grants for organisations in Australia in 2012. The mantle has stuck so much that people now ring asking to speak to The Grants Guy! I am very proud of my new name and the work I have done since the genesis of the business for numerous organisations throughout Australia. I have worked with Not-for-Profits, Charities, Universities, Government Departments & Agencies, Sports Clubs, Aboriginal Groups, Arts Organisations and Educational Bodies which has given me a great insight into the needs for funding in Australia and the opportunity to educate my clients on what grants exists and how to apply for such. The Grants Guy facilitates the following for a Grants Applicant – The Provision of a Grants Calendar listing available grants in both the public and private sectors pertinent to the organisations funding goals Drafting, Reviewing, Assessing and Appraising Grant applications before submittal The facilitation of Grants Workshops educating organisations on how to establish a Grants Strategy for their organisation.
