Breaking free from the Golden Handcuffs of small grants
1st July 2026 @ 10am Online Webinar €25
If you run a local sports club, youth organisation, environmental or community group, you know the frustration of the endless cycle of grant applications.
Grants are great, but they aren't a strategy. They can stifle your ability to dream big and have a greater impact for your community by forcing you to limit projects and activities to those that meet grant requirements.
There are many more ways to generate the income you need to be successful.
This webinar is designed to help you begin to break out of survival mode and start thinking differently.
- Why can’t your club be the best local sports club in the country? with the best facilities, adult & youth teams, social network and coaching programs in the country?
- Why can’t your youth club become the national benchmark—the exact blueprint that every other organization tries to copy?
- Why can’t your environmental group scale up to launch projects that change and improve your locality forever?
There is no shortage of money out there to make things happen, you just need a clear strategy that lays out what you want to achieve and how you’re going to get there.
What will the webinar cover?
This webinar will introduce you to key strategies that will enable you to think differently about how you generate income for your nonprofit in order to achieve much more including:
Optimising your membership value: What does it mean to be a member/supporter of your group? What does it say about the individual? What contribution are you making to the community? - What’s the value of that?
Smart Fundraising & Commercial Activities: Move past the table quiz and learn how to launch sustainable fundraising campaigns and introduce small scale commercial activities that align with your mission and boost income.
The Power of Local Collaboration: Discover how partnering with neighboring community groups can unlock shared resources, co-funded projects, and massive local impact.
