Writing Grant Proposals: Making Space – Creating Time by Cynthia M. Adams, CEO, GrantStation
The number one reason people give for not applying for a particular
grant is that they don't have the time. And it's probably true. In this series,
I'm going to share with you some of the tricks of the trade to help you organize
your approach to grantseeking. We will cover everything from big picture
thinking and how it can drive your grantseeking efforts, to how best to use
volunteers. Throughout this series, I encourage you to send me your own tips,
thoughts, and ideas about how to make grant writing more efficient. (Email
me at cadams@grantstation.com.
Be sure to note the subject: Tracks to Success Series Comments.)
The fifth article in the series, “Organizing Information: Typical Proposal Sections,” details
some of the most common sections in grant proposals, and offers time-saving
suggestions for each of those sections.
