Our Perspective
Set Your Organization Up for Grant Funding Success
Organizations need to select grants that align with their organizational goals, spend sufficient time and resources on the application creation, and assess the organization’s readiness to implement the funds if successfully awarded the grant.
Tell a Story With Your Grant Application
Grant writing is like telling a story. There should be a beginning, middle, and end, where the reviewer is introduced to a problem, understands the solution, and is inclined to support your organization in meeting its goal. Make the reviewer want to see the ending come to fruition by funding the initiative.
