ICYMI: Manage grant applications with a personalised dashboard

 <https://www.fundingcentre.com.au/overview?utm_campaign=ongoing&utm_medium=easygrants&utm_source=fundingcentre.com.au> 

In case you missed our last email blast (sign up to receive email alerts here <https://www.fundingcentre.com.au/account/alerts?utm_campaign=ongoing&utm_medium=easygrants&utm_source=fundingcentre.com.au> ), there's a lot more you can do with a Funding Centre subscription than finding grants. 

Your Funding Centre subscription gives you access to a personalised dashboard which will help you work smarter and stay on top of key dates and funder requirements. Curate, manage, track and get notifications about important dates, and connect your grants calendar to external calendars. You can also integrate with SmartyGrants, Australia's most-used grants administration system. 

Check out our no-fuss overview of the dashboard here. <https://www.fundingcentre.com.au/overview?utm_campaign=ongoing&utm_medium=easygrants&utm_source=fundingcentre.com.au>

COVID-19 proves value of cash reserves

 <https://communitydirectors.com.au/articles/covid-19-proves-value-of-cash-reserves-held-for-that-rainy-day> 

Drawing on multiple sources of funding <https://www.fundingcentre.com.au/help/fundraising-pillars?utm_campaign=ongoing&utm_medium=easygrants&utm_source=fundingcentre.com.au>  is the best way to ensure financial stability for your organisation. Our friends at the Institute of Community Directors Australia (ICDA) encourage you to have a cash reserve of six months to help stay afloat during tough times. In this article (locked to ICDA members – join for just $65/year <https://www.ourcommunity.com.au/secure/member/welcome.form?type=icda_basic> ), former president of the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre discusses how the value of keeping a reserve came to the fore in 2020.
