Grant writing guide

PURPOSE
This grant writing guide from TechRepublic Premium will help you identify a grant that fits your idea, build a team to help you compile a proposal, and set a timeline to meet the application deadline.

From the guide:

BEFORE YOU START
This list of steps will help the grant writing process go more smoothly. Here is how to prepare:

Make sure your proposal is a good fit
Before you start writing your grant application, do a reality check. If your proposal feels like a stretch when you read the eligibility guidelines, it probably is. Competition for grant money has increased significantly over the last few years and funders are much more likely to say no than to say yes. Some funders have geographic or other limitations. If your idea is not a good fit for a particular grant, you have two choices: look for another funding source or find another idea.

Look at previous grant recipients
Most grant programs will have a list of organizations that have won grants in the past. Read through this list and consider what programs have been funded. Use this information to shape your own ideas and find the funder that is most likely to support your work.
