How to Project-Manage Your Grant by Tracking Progress and Setting Internal Deadlines
The process of applying for grants often feels like navigating through a maze of tight deadlines, complex requirements, and expectations – all with the risk that one missing document or piece of information can lead to a grant proposal being rejected outright.
Gathering the various information you need to bring together a winning grant application often requires liaising with subject matter experts who have other competing priorities – so how do you balance everything to ensure smooth progress towards your looming deadline?
How Grant Writers Can Demonstrate Capabilities
Winning grant funding isn’t just about a great idea: even the best idea will almost certainly fall flat if the funder isn’t confident in the capabilities of your organisation and its key personnel.

The Art of Persuasive Grant Writing

The best grant writers weave a compelling narrative that captivates grant funders, aligns with their objectives, and inspires them to invest in your project or cause. To stand out in a sea of proposals, grant writers must master the art of storytelling. Here’s how you can craft a grant proposal that resonates with grant funders and increases your chances of securing funding.

And yet, so many executive summaries are haphazardly thrown together at the end of a bidding process.
Here’s how to do better, avoid common preventable mistakes, and write an executive summary that gets results.
