Opportunity

The Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW John Barilaro announced a new $500,000 Murray Darling Regional Business Accelerator Program fund to support businesses in the Murray Darling Basin to undertake new marketing or technology projects.  The program offers matched funding up to $10,000 for activities including website development, digital media campaigns, or new product packaging.

The program also supports traditional expansion methods, such as exhibiting at trade shows and multi-channel advertising campaigns.

Solution

Already working with client, Regional Enviroscience on a conceptual e-learning branch to their highly successful asbestos consultancy & testing business, RIM made principal Juliet Duffy aware of the funding opportunity and RIM worked on the successful application for the matched funding for this new project

Grant funding is highly competitive, and more and more organisations are outsourcing grant writing to independent professionals like RIM who have years of experience and skills in preparing applications.  When considering an application, remember that it takes time to collate the benefits analysis, financial plan and project plan.
