3 Common Grant Mistakes Community Groups Make and How to Avoid Them

Applying for grants can feel overwhelming, especially for busy community groups, start ups etc.... At Grant Wise Advisors, we have helped many groups and businesses across Ireland secure funding, and we often see the same mistakes holding back great applications.

Here are three common ones - and how you can avoid them:

1. Rushing the Application

   Leaving it to the last minute can lead to missing documents, unclear answers, and preventable errors. Start early and give yourself time to review everything before hitting submit.

2. Not Matching the Grant Criteria

   Many groups and businesses apply for funding without checking if their project exactly matches the fund's goals. Always read the guidelines carefully and tailor your application to what the funder is actually looking for.

3. Forgetting to Show Impact

   Funders want to know how their money will help. Be clear about who will benefit, how many people you will reach, and why your work matters to the community.
