Grant Writing Basics
IF YOU CURRENTLY WORK WITH AN ORGANIZATION:
- Review the Grant Readiness Checklist from Lesson 3 and the other elements we discussed throughout the course. This is our first attempt at learning about grants.
- Collect the items your organization already has. Most items are already done. We have various appeals during a year and can show our clients that we have served through our impact report.
- What items do you still need to develop, and who can help? Need to involve the board more on grants and funders.
- Do any items need to be updated or revised? Need to update and review our Mission, Vision and Goals statements. It has been a few years since these were written.
- What are your long-term project goals? Need to identify specific project. We are an International non-profit organization and identifying funders for international projects is tougher.
