Grant Request Form: Fill & Download for Free

It didn’t save me, but a mess up helped me save someone else.I do consultancy work from time to time and one of the smaller cultural tourism businesses I worked with was attempting to raise capital for future investment. They’d received a set of grant request application paperwork but due to the tight timeframes and a total mess up in the office, the paperwork wasn’t done and they missed the cut off for applications. They emailed the organisation that had sent it to them and requested an extension and were absolutely delighted to receive one.They contacted me for assistance and frantically sent the paperwork over so I started the process of compiling the needed documents and completing the application forms. But as I continued…I had some reservations.The documents seemed a bit… amateurish and included spelling errors and other minor inconsistencies. The further I got, the more questions were raised. I flicked through all the documents and when I got to the end… there was a hefty paperwork filing fee?![Cue record screech}Say what now?A cultural grants organisation was charging an application filing fee?My bullish!t radar started screeching.Image source. Me again.I looked up the outfit online and this supposedly multimillion-dollar funding organisation was using a cheap templated website. When I did a google search on the content, it had been plagiarized from other legitimate businesses and the images of staff members had been requisitioned from Linkedin although the names and titles had been changed.Yep. It was a scam.I immediately placed a call to the office to explain the situation. They were embarrassed that they hadn’t picked it up and were also new to grant requests and thus hadn’t known that legitimate grant organisations don’t charge fees for applications.Their f*ck up in the office meant that the fraudulent paperwork landed on the desk of someone who could recognize it for what it was.

At work, we are entitled to use the “locator slip”, with this an employee can go out during office hours for a maximum of two hours provided there’s a valid reason.One day I was invited to a birthday party, we can have an hour lunch break,but I think that’s not enough and I know I’ll be late. So I applied for a locator slip.I need to fill up the reason in the request form, and I don’t wanna lie.My reason: to attend the 3rd birthday of my bestfriend’s labrador.Boss: (gave me that “you’re-definitely-one-weird-girl-with-weird-friends look”)“Just be back by 1:30pm.”Hoooooray! My request was granted. I attended this cutie’s birthday.Happy Birthday Marqueza!:)

Such things don't happen. Spells, witchcraft (white or black) don't work like that. If it did, nearly everyone would be wealthy.In order for a spell to ‘grant' you something, it is necessary for you to ‘give' something. The time and effort you give to achieve that goal is the most powerful spell you can cast.The Gods don't go around granting requests unless they receive something in return.Blood sacrifice in any form is no longer acceptable.The Gods have adapted to modern times. Now the sacrifice they require is effort, time, desire, perseverance and persistence; all provided by the one making the request…you.In other words, the Gods will help you and guide you, but they won't just hand it to you. You have to earn it by your deeds, as well as your desires.Work hard, study and learn and you will meet your goals.
