How to win grants

Show Me the Money: How to Win Grants (and Actually Grow Your Business)

May 26, 20251 min read

Let’s talk about grants. The most underrated and misunderstood business growth strategy in Australia.

Right now, there are nearly 4,000 grants open across the country. $75 billion in available funding.

But here’s the catch: most business owners only start looking for grants when they’re desperate. Cue a frantic Google search, a last-minute submission, and a lot of crossed fingers.

That’s not strategy. That’s a Hail Mary.

At Growology, we approach grants like what they are: a long-term growth lever. Over the past three years, we’ve helped secure over $50 million in funding for our clients. Last week alone? Nearly $1M.

So what’s the secret? Three things:

  1. Be Strategic
    Know what funding fits your business and build a grants strategy to act as your roadmap. Not every grant will be right for you, but there is something for nearly every business.

  2. Solve Their Problem
    Grants aren’t built for your goals. They’re built to solve specific challenges funders have identified. Your job is to show how your business helps solve their problem.

  3. Stay in the Game
    You can’t treat grants like a quick fix. Just like marketing, sales, or team building, this is a long game. The more prepared and consistent you are, the higher your win rate.

Grants don’t just create cash flow. They create momentum, when you use them to scale systems, fund innovation, or unlock access to new markets.

That’s why we do what we do at Growology, find, submit and win grant funding to grow your business faster, sleeker, smarter. Want to know more? Take our grant ready quiz and see what might be available for your business.
