Grant Writing: The Uncertain Road to Funding

Abstract

Grant writing is not a mysterious process. It is based on sound planning, development, implementation and evaluation strategies. An important component of the grant/proposal writing process is to address not only the needs of the organization, but also the needs of the funding source. The opportunity to capture your intended funder's attention is limited, usually to the first few sentences. Make the most of the opportunity by concentrating on the opening sentences of the proposal. Make no mistake -fewer words make a great impact.
