  1. Effective Grant Writing How to prepare a successful grant application

  2. Preparing successful grants • Preparing successful grant proposals to receive funding from corporations or foundations requires a little research, preparation, and graceful writing. Grant administrators tell us that many grant requestors have no real understanding of the proposal writing process and as a result, their worthy causes lose out.

  3. Be prepared • If you learn how to avoid the errors that lead to the rejection of your proposal, you will be better prepared to help the causes you most admire. On grant writing Tuesdays we will walk through the basic steps to grant writing--including an important discussion of what you must do when the grant arrives!

  4. Where do I start? • You have already taken the most important step. You are here! Next step - we should become familiar with the institution or project for which we are requesting support.

  5. Our ultimate goal… • To be able to put everything together so we can assemble, write, and submit complete grant proposals to foundations and other organizations and have our applications approved.
