Join Strategic Grants for a webinar exploring the key findings from the inaugural GEMS Funding Insights Funding Landscape Report 2026 which provides visibility across Australian grants funding data, from FY2021 to FY2024.
While funding opportunities continue to grow, the data reveals a complex picture. The future of grant funding appears to be shaped less by larger grants and more by increasing numbers of opportunities, heightened competition, and the need for for-purpose organisations to strengthen organisational capability. For funders, the data helps in understanding where funding is flowing, where gaps remain and whether current practices are unintentionally reinforcing inequity.
In this webinar, Jo Garner, Strategic Grants founder and CEO, will unpack what these trends mean for grant-seekers, funders and sector leaders, and how NFPs can adapt their funding strategies in an increasingly competitive environment.
