These are two good resources for grant writers from the CT Council for Philantrhopy.
Grantseeking from
Foundations a good
2-page guide on grant writing, and includes
- You can't make up in writing what you missed in planning
- Find the match
- When preparing the proposal be very clear; funders often comment that even after thoroughly reading a proposal, they cannot discern exactly what the applicants want!
The site also offers a 9-page document called Writing
a Successful Grant Proposal. Author Barbara Davis notes that funders tend to want the “substantially the same information, even
if they use different words or ask questions in a different order.” She goes on
to enumerate the most common are: Summary,
Organizational Information, Problem/Need/Situation Description, Work
Plan/Specific Activities, Impact of Activities, Evaluation and more.
