Successful grant writing involves solid, advanced planning and preparation.
We will organize your proposal, pay attention to detail and specifications, use concise, persuasive writing, and request reasonable funding. You see, we clearly understand the funder's guidelines before we write your proposal and we also make sure the funder's goals and objectives match your grant seeking purposes.
Preparation is vital to the grant-writing process. Solid planning and research will simplify the writing stage. A proposal written by MRodgers - FCS follows these basic steps:
- Research funders, including funding purposes and priorities, and applicant eligibility
- Determine whether the funders' goals and objectives match your grant seeking purposes
- Contact the funder, before writing the proposal, to be sure all guidelines are clearly understood
- Prove that you have a significant need or issues in your proposal
- Deliver an answer to the need or solution to the problem, based on experience, ability, logic, and imagination throughout your proposal
- Assure your proposal describes a program or project for change
- Reflect planning, research, and vision throughout your proposal
- Target your proposal to funders appropriate to your field and project without limiting your funding request to one source
- Present your proposal in an appropriate and complete format, including all required attachments
- State your organization's needs and objectives clearly and concisely while concentrating on factual, supportable, and professional presentation
MRodgers - FCS will demonstrate project logic and outcome, impact of funds, and community support while specifying goals, measurable objectives, and quantified outcomes.
