Wouldn’t it be helpful to see an actual example of a trust application that was 
successful? Now you can, courtesy of [Open Source Community](http://www.opensourcecommunity.net).
Here you can search for, find and download examples of successful grant applications
to organisations ranging from the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, to the European Regional
Development Fund Obj 2 Priority 3, WREN Landfill Tax Credits, and Rank Foundation.

According to those who shared them via the site, the applications generated grants
such as £100,000, £50,000, £250,00 and £2,500.

The site was established by a partnership of five grassroots organisations “trying
to make a difference in a deprived area of Hull” by sharing “practice in a practical
way”.

It is a very good example of community and charity staff sharing valuable experience
with a wider audience. Grant applications, once they have secured the grant, _can_
still have a use, as teaching aids.

Now, why didn’t UK Fundraising offer this kind of resource ages ago?
