Funding Centre tip: fine-tune your grant search with keywords

Want more precise grant search results? The keyword field in the Funding Centre uses  <https://email.ourcommunity.com.au/t/r-l-thjtjhz-bjdhduksj-yd/> Boolean logic to help you refine your search: 

*         Use AND to find grants that include all your keywords (e.g. housing AND youth). 

*         Use OR to broaden your search (e.g. dance OR performance). 

*         Use NOT to exclude a term (e.g. community NOT garden). 

*         Use "quotation marks" to search for an exact phrase (e.g. "youth development"). 

By default, the Funding Centre treats searches as OR, so typing community garden will show results containing either word. Try using AND or quotation marks to get the most relevant results. 

That’s all from us. Happy grantseeking!
