Unfortunately time has been against us to get an issue of Starlink together for our readers any earlier this month.
This should also have been a 'full issue' with attached pdf download. But because of upcoming deadlines for some of the events and grants we want to include, you are receiving another Starlink Extra this month instead.
Although this is therefore a smaller collection of resources than it should have been, we hope you'll nevertheless find some useful items among them! :)
Cheers

So if you are thinking of applying for philanthropic funding, consider how you can best present a clear business case, based on outcomes, that will demonstrate your efficiency, effectiveness and risk management.
To this end, Perpetual's Funding Round Tips and Trends report is a useful resource and well worth reading!
