Grant Writing Tip of the Day 💻📝
Want to write a winning grant proposal? Start here:
1️⃣ Read the Grant Guidelines—Twice.
Make sure you’re eligible and understand exactly what the funder is looking for.
2️⃣ Research the Funder.
Align your proposal with their mission, language, and funding priorities. If your goals don’t match theirs, it’s a no-go.
3️⃣ Nail the Executive Summary.
Tell them who you are, what you do, what you need, and why it matters—all in one powerful paragraph.
4️⃣ Clearly Define the Problem + Solution.
Use real data and lived experiences to show the need—and how your program meets it better than anything else.
5️⃣ Write a Transparent Budget.
Show funders exactly where the money is going and why. Vague = denied.
6️⃣ Use Evidence to Build Trust.
Success stories, impact stats, community quotes, and letters of support = gold.
7️⃣ Edit Like It’s a Job Interview.
Because it is. No typos. No fluff. Just clarity, confidence, and strategy.
The stronger your structure, the stronger your chances.
Keep refining—and keep showing up.
