Have you ever opened a grant application, taken one look, and immediately decided you needed a snack, a nap, or a quick scroll through Instagram instead? You’re not alone. Luckily, help comes in the form of a practical, friendly online workshop designed for Estonians around the globe.

What’s happening
GlobalEstonian.com is hosting its third and final “Let’s Meet!” session of the year, and this round is all about cracking the code of a strong, fundable project application.
If you’re planning to apply for funding in the early 2026 grant rounds — or if your community group keeps saying “We really should apply for something…” — this workshop is for you.
Why you might want to join
You’ll walk away with:
- practical steps for writing solid project proposals
- a clear understanding of what funders actually look for
- tips on how to turn great ideas into realistic, fundable plans
- and a chance to ask your burning questions directly to experts.
Plus, you’ll meet other Estonians from across the world who are also wrestling with Time Zones, Word docs, Google Forms, and the eternal question: “Does this budget make sense, or is it quietly asking for a reality check?”
About the speaker
The workshop is led by Krista Pegolainen-Saar — an experienced supervisor, coach and community development specialist who works closely with NGOs, volunteer networks and local associations across Estonia.
She knows exactly what makes a project application shine — and how to avoid the classic “great idea, no funding” scenario.
Why this matters for Australia
Our Australian Estonian societies and community projects run on volunteer dedication, creativity and determination (and the kind of coffee consumption we don’t talk abut publicly). Stronger project writing = better funding = more events, more culture, more connection.
If you’re thinking of applying for support in 2026, this session is genuinely worth your 45 minutes — and you might even enjoy it.
