HT: OneAccord newsletter. Amy Karjala from the Non-Profit Fundraising Blog gives 5 rules for writing grants:
1) FOLLOW THE RULES
2) EMBRACE THE NEW MATH: YOUR ORGANIZATION ? YOUR CAUSE
3) DON’T CHASE SHINY OBJECTS
4) FOUNDATIONS ARE PEOPLE TOO
5) FOLLOW THE RULES
the number one rule to grant writing is……(drum roll please)
identifying the root problem or problems.
too often organizations attack symptoms
if you don’t, nothing is going to change.
if there is no change, there is no results
if there are not results, then there is no reason to give you
grant money.
if you need help identifying root problems, you can contact me
but only with skinny’s permission.
