About Grantus
Simon Coutts
Grantus Founder, Simon Coutts is based in Ballarat, Victoria and has over 20 years’ experience working across operational, technical, corporate and project management fields.
Available on short notice, for short term projects or organisational assignments, I can pull together a professional team to bid on projects or work with you directly.
I thrive on solving socially complex and unique government-level problems. One of my greatest strengths is navigating the feasibility, concept and planning stages of multidimensional government backed projects.
I have been successful in raising over $100M in funding through business case development and grant writing. Success is not just understanding the processes and language. It comes from working in the public sector in technical, management and governance roles and valuing community, regulator and stakeholder engagement.
I am able to find and win you grants and tenders, offering a low upfront fee and % on success for eligible clients.
Through my career I now have a solid grounding in corporate and project governance, international relations as well as project management, management of cross functional teams, risk and sustainability practices.
We are about maximising public value.
