Step 1
Always give the readers a understanding of your grant project. Your project idea should be stated clearly and desired outcome should be stated. Never leave them wondering what the funding is for. Yes you may go over it later in the proposal but if they do not read that how will they know.
-
Step 2
Make sure to go over the key concerns of the funding source. Many foundations and organizations that fund grant let applicants know what type of projects they are interested in. Make sure to qualify yourself during the overview portion of the proposal.
-
Step 3
Note all collaborating efforts that have been made with your project. Funding sources want to know about community involvement and how well the organization uses resources that is available to them.
-
Step 4
Do not try to write your overview first. Even though the overview is the first thing that is read, it should be the last thing written in a grant proposal. A draft is okay to write, but typically should start a whole new one to complete the proposal.
-
Step 5
Show why your organization is qualified to handle such project. Yes it could be a great project, but if you are not qualified for it then the job will probably not get done right. Do not make the project appear larger then your organization can handle.
