It is emphasized that the process of participation in the grant competition is preceded by a long and laborious process of searching for the necessary program and competition, and it is important to choose the one that is most suitable for a specific applicant for a specific project among their large number. The approaches of foreign and domestic authors are demonstrated. The main aspects that should be taken into account in the process of searching for a grant are emphasized. Generalization and systematization of the main approaches to the process of searching for and choosing an actual grant tool was carried out. 10 generalized recommendations are highlighted with an indication of the information that should be kept in focus in order to effectively carry out donor analysis, namely: types of activities that can be supported by the donor, monetary or in-kind form of grant support from the donor, the amount of the grant, the amount of co-financing, the geography of the grantor's interests, the type of applicant, the applicant's availability of partnerships for project implementation, the deadline for submitting project proposals, the deadline for issuing a decision on supporting the project proposal and project implementation. Important preparatory stages for writing grant applications are emphasized, namely: identifying potential sources of funding (including resources of the government, corporations, financial institutions, individuals, the Internet); review the report and funding sources of the previous period; to finally decide on a potential donor and the specifics of the procedure for drawing up and submitting a grant application approved by this donor; understand the target orientations of the donor and compare them with their own priorities. It was emphasized that the analysis of approaches to the search for grant resources and the selection of an actual grant for a specific project showed that it is not necessary to be straightforward in this process, but it is necessary to take into account the specifics of the grantor, his eligibility criteria in relation to the applicant, the types of costs and size, the type of the requested grant, the desired partnership in the project, orbit of interests, deadlines for submitting project proposals, deadlines for making a decision and implementing the project.
