Writing grant applications
Helping small associations fill in their grant applications: project description, budget, supporting documents.
How to get started
- Read the free guides for associations on associations.gouv.fr in France, or on regional websites in Belgium.
- First offer your help to an association you know.
- Prepare a checklist of the documents each funder requires.
- Offer a fixed price per application on Malt or directly to associations.
Skills needed
- Writing
- Organisation and office software
Tools and equipment needed

Good tips
- Call-for-projects deadlines come round every year: put them in a calendar.
- A clear, realistic project budget is often more convincing than a long text.
Watch out for
- Prefer a clear fixed fee to a percentage of the grant obtained, which is harder to get accepted.
- Never promise that a grant will be awarded.
