We offer hints that will help you as you begin to write your grant proposals. Please remember that all links open in their own window. The most important thing for grant-writers to remember is that they might submit a perfect application and still receive a rejection.
Most foundations have limited resources with which to fund projects.
Do not get discouraged if you get a rejection from a possible funding source. READ the grantor's guidelines and instructions carefully. Do not try to make the grantor's program fit what you want to do - your program must be in line with the funding agency's priorities. Ideas should be innovative, creative and educational. Grantors will rarely fund operating expenses - they usually invest in supplemental programs.
