Last Saturday, representatives from multicultural community groups across Mackay gathered at the Ocean International Hotel for a free, hands-on workshop aimed at boosting their confidence and capacity in project planning, grant writing, and grant management.
The session was delivered in partnership between the Ethnic Communities Council of Queensland (ECCQ) and The Neighbourhood Hub Mackay, providing attendees with practical tools and strategies to turn their ideas into well-planned, fundable projects.
Running from 9am to 3pm, the workshop covered everything from developing logical, goal-driven project plans to writing compelling, succinct grant applications. Participants also learned how to manage grants effectively to ensure both compliance and long-term project success.
Attendees came from a wide range of cultural backgrounds and organisational roles, but all shared a common goal, to make a meaningful impact in the Mackay community through well-supported projects. The atmosphere was one of collaboration and curiosity, with lively discussions, group activities, and opportunities to connect with like-minded leaders.
Whether they were new to grant writing or looking to sharpen their skills, participants walked away with renewed confidence, practical knowledge, and a greater understanding of how to navigate the often-complex world of funding.
ECCQ and The Neighbourhood Hub say they’re proud to support multicultural communities through initiatives like this one, which empower grassroots organisations to thrive and grow.
