New Announcement: Build a stronger case for grant support and new grants added

Hi {{user.name}}

Today's Grant Motivation: Let’s Build a Better Case for Grant Support!

-----------------------------------------

Welcome to September! This month, we're diving deep into a crucial aspect of grant writing: building a compelling and stronger case for support. No matter what stage you are in when it comes to applying for grants, refining your approach can significantly increase your chances of securing the funds you need.

Over the next few weeks, I will share insights that will help you craft a more compelling case for support that not only captures attention of grant reviewers but also compels funders to invest in your vision.

To kick off the month, I have a simple but impactful activity for you. I’d like you to retrieve a recent or saved grant application you prepared or submitted, particularly focusing on the project summary/overview. Share this summary with someone—perhaps a colleague, a friend, or even me- and ask them to tell you what stood out the most.

Take note of the feedback. You can also ask them:

-What resonated with them?

-Was there a specific part that caught their attention or made them want to learn more?

I am going to help you use the gained insight to expand upon that aspect in your future applications, ensuring it shines even brighter.

Remember, your case for support is more than just words on a page. I am here to help you go beyond the basics so that you can stand out.

Reply to this email and let me know what your receiver thinks stood out about your project. Also, let me know if you have a proposal summary you would like me to review and share feedback on!
