Here are some important tips you can use as you write your grant proposal:
• Visualize your project into the future. How do you see it? Is it going to benefit your community or the public in general? This should be evident in your proposal to catch the attention of your grant making agency.
• Create your own set of goals and objectives for your project. Make sure what you have are realistic.
• Research for as many grant making agencies that you can find. But make sure these organizations have the same objectives as yours to better your chances of getting funding assistance.
• Before you write your grant proposal, keep in mind that you are creating not just a simple proposal but a plan that needs to be implemented.
• Write your proposal in the given format required by your prospective grant making agencies.
• While writing your proposal, have a positive outlook and believe that your proposal will be awarded the grant money.
• Be concise and avoid using jargon and confusing terms.
• When using acronyms, make sure that it is spelled out correctly especially when being used the first time.
• Before you submit your proposal, ask someone from outside your organization to review your proposal to have an objective outlook.
• Always keep in mind that you have to submit your proposal before the deadline.
• For your or your organization’s resume, include qualifications, work ethics and commitment. If applicable, mention previous grants awarded to your organization.
• It is important to only include attachments specified by your grant making agencies. The most common attachment would be a Letter of Support or Endorsement for your organization from individuals or other organizations. Do not include unnecessary documents as this may just confuse the grant making agencies. |
