Grant Writing Tips

When writing your grant it's important to remember that your proposal should be right inline with your funding agency's priorities.  Grantors are looking for applicants that can prove that their ideas are innovative, educational and most importantly effective.  Make sure to have someone who is not involved in your project proofread and critique your application.  Grammatical errors reflect poorly on your proposal.  Always provide research if possible to support your ideas.  If your project is rejected, contact the grantor for tips on improving your future grant applications.  Keep in mind that even the best grant proposals are abandoned due to lack of funding, so don't be discouraged if you fail the first time around.  Below you will find several solutions to streamline your grant writing procedures. 

 

-Best of luck!
