Project Planning and Management
Effective project planning is essential in establishing a strong, feasible and outcome focussed plan that will meet the goals and objectives of our client. The project plan is invaluable in accessing the resources (financial, recruitment, time, partnerships) that are needed to meet project outcomes. 2 Rivers will prepare a Project Plan in consultation with our client, and will identify the strategies, time and resources required so there are no surprises or misunderstandings during the implementation of the Project. This gives our client full control at an early stage so modifications can be made to ensure the Project is manageable.

Once the Project Plan is in place and resources are available to action the plan, 2 Rivers has excellent skills in managing the Plan to ensure the strategies are implemented within the resources available to meet the desired outcomes. Effective management is essential for a project to be timely and cost efficient, fully delivered and accountable.

Submission / Grant Writing
The prospect of applying for government or private funding can be daunting for many, and the prospect of spending many hours completing a complex document only to be unsuccessful in the application puts many potential plans on hold. The 2 Rivers team have over 20 years of combined experience writing grants and submissions for government and private organisations. Grant writing is a specialist skill, and competition is always strong.

Our business originally started as a grant and submission writing business, servicing primarily arts and culture organisations as well as Aboriginal Land Councils. We have successfully secured millions of dollars in funding for our clients ranging from $3,000 grants to $250,000 grants.

We have strong relationships with Create NSW, Department of Communication & the Arts, Museums and Galleries NSW and the Australia Council. Lorrayne has sat on more than 15 funding panels in the last 3 years assessing a variety of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal funding rounds. This provides invaluable insight into knowing and understanding what a funding panel is looking for and how to write grants that address the needs of the community while satisfying funding guidelines.
