Thanks to your guidance, I feel so much more confident and inspired to apply for funding to support our services. The Race for Investment workshop has also given me the courage to start exploring larger funding opportunities. I used to feel overwhelmed and intimidated by the idea of tackling those bids—especially the thought of putting in so much effort just for an expression of interest stage, only to face potential rejection. But now, I’m ready to take on the challenge!"

Coach Ceejay, Community Sports Coordinator, Future Kidz Development CiC

After attending the Race for Investment course with StreetGames, their Network Funding Officers assisted me with my funding application. Their knowledge, expertise and understanding of our project is the reason behind the success of our funding, for which I am truly grateful. I can't thank StreetGames enough for aiding us to make a difference in the lives of the young people in our community."
