To add further value to this opportunity, FFV is excited to advise that FFV have been in discussions with Rob Palmaricciotti from Grants Professional who is able to lodge these grant applications on your behalf.

In the Category 3 – Club Operational Capacity, Rob has negotiated with some of his colleagues to be able to deliver this programs to clubs at no cost. 

The fee for Grant Professional services is normally 10-15%, however, this cost will be covered if you use his recommended companies to develop the Strategic Plan for you.  Rob can be contacted on 0476 165 683 if you would like to discuss this further with him.
