Nine stages and 24 templates to guide your way
The toolkit takes you through nine crucial stages when it comes to an effective and efficient grants program including:

You'll also get access to 24 separate templates helping you tailor each of those stages to your organisation, from developing that program overview to a strategy to help you learn the lessons from each round.
