Grant Writing

Grants are vital in acquiring funding for many nonprofits as these funds allow them to continue operating and finance future projects. 

The keys to finding grant funding opportunities and writing decent grant proposals are knowing where to find opportunities and understanding what funders/investors want to read. Most grants require detailed descriptions of how the company plans to use the funds they receive. A well written grant proposal will reflect a high level of organization, planning, and budgeting with emphasis on reaching specific or long term goals.

 A well written grant proposal will reflect a high level of organization, planning, and budgeting with emphasis on reaching specific or long term goals as investors are more inclined to support organizations that they feel can succeed. By refining those goals your organization can develop a sharper focus on the tasks and projects required to succeed. Your request to the funder should fall within the range of grants the funder typically makes and amount you request should also be in line with your total budget and what you will spend on the project for which you seek funding.

Grant writing gives the company the ability to obtain funds that never have to be paid back as well as allowing the company to prioritize its goals and clarify its mission internally before choosing which grants to pursue. A grant proposal should include information about the company, its current and past activities, plans for the future, and a variety of other details.

 Obtaining grants is social proof to potential clients and partners that your company is dedicated to its mission and has the necessary level of professionalism to receive outside funding for your project. A proper grant proposal will encourage outside investors to become involved in your organization’s cause. Applying for grants provides an important opportunity to tell both your organizations’ and your project stories so that others can grasp your vision.
