Delivering grants well takes more than process - it takes clarity, structure and a whole-of-program view. At Empact, we partner with government to design, administer and uplift grants programs that create real impact for communities across Australia.
Our Integrated Service Streams
Grants Administration as a Service
End-to-end delivery across the entire grant lifecycle. We tailor our approach to each program’s intent, complexity and objectives.
Integrated Service Management
Structure, consistency, and governance across multiple or concurrent grant opportunities. We bring quality assurance, surge workforce management and continuous improvement to keep programs running smoothly.
Advisory Services
Capability uplift through workshops, facilitation and strategic guidance - supporting teams to design stronger programs and deliver better outcomes.
Design Holistically
Plan your grant with the whole lifecycle in mind.
Example: Design your selection approach alongside your guidelines. When assessment methods are aligned early, you can more confidently identify the projects and communities that will benefit most.
Plan for the End at the Start
Early decisions shape every phase of your program.
Example:
Identify evaluation needs up front. When applications collect the right data from day one, reporting becomes meaningful - and impact becomes measurable.
Hold a Program Logic Workshop
Define what success looks like from the outset. A strong logic workshop helps you:
- Map how every step contributes to final outcomes
- Invite diverse voices that improve design
- Uncover blind spots through open, curious questioning
Evaluate Past Programs
Good evaluation is your evidence base for even better design.
Three questions to start with:
- Was the application process simple for applicants?
- What barriers affected application quantity or quality?
- What helped applicants who succeeded?
