Grant Writing Advisory for Not-for-Profits
We help Australian charities, community groups and social enterprises win the government, corporate and philanthropic funding that powers their mission, with expert grant writing that stays affordable for the sector.
Trusted by community, charity and First Nations organisations across VIC & NSW.
Hi, I'm Jake.
I started Giving Tree Advisors in October 2024 because too many great Australian charities and social enterprises were missing out on funding they were qualified to win. Not because their work didn't deserve it, but because the grant process was built for organisations with dedicated grants teams.
I've secured tens of millions in competitive funding across my career. Now I bring that experience to the not-for-profits and community groups doing the real work, at a price they can actually afford.
