Who This Workshop Is For

This session is for community leaders, grassroots organisers, faith-based groups, and individuals who want to learn how to turn their ideas into funded projects , even if they’ve never written a grant before.

You don’t need any previous experience, just passion, purpose and a vision to make a difference.

Why Attend

Her guidance is practical, honest, and rooted in lived experience showing that you don’t have to be a professional fundraiser to win grants.
