About Us
For best results in Grant Writing and funding, you need to approach it with a clear strategy. Foremost is matching your grant request with the criteria of the granting body. Especially ensuring that your organization or project are eligible to apply for the grant.
Differentiation of your project from all others is a key.
You must clearly state your projects goals and expectations and how the grant would allow you to achieve those. Having measurable results and impact assessments as the project is progressing will allow the granting body the ability to see that their gift is being used wisely. This will also show accountability on your part and will contribute to the final report.
If you are using multiple sources of funding, it's important to make sure that there is little overlap and that the partnerships are not expending grants in one area when there are other possible projects.
If possible, meet with your granting body and allow them to get the clearest picture of your project, how it will work, what is involved and how their gift will be applied.
Make sure that the project is well thought out so you can clearly follow a path to success, taking into account as many possible problems as possible.
