How to Write a Grant
When writing a grant you will want to read the rubric for the grant and include all of the required elements. Then make sure you have enough time to write your grant proposal.
​
Make sure to obtain feedback from your grant application to make sure that it is understandable from an outside perspective.
​
Format your proprosal in the correct way that is required. A good way to make sure you have included everything that is required, is to “grade” your grant as if you were the judge.
​
Be simple and direct in your writing, don't be emotional, be subjective. Include a complete plan and a timeline of how you would use the funding.
​
Highlight why your project is unique, important, and why you deserves the funding. Only include what is necessary, without mentioning your competition or repeat yourself.
​
Write a brief summary of your entire proprosal and make sure to include what your project is about, the problem solving, the end goal, outline your budget, and include the uses and how your achievments will be measured.​
​ State your goals and objectives, but don't be to abitious with your goals, make sure they are achievable. Make sure your goals are S.M.A.R.T. Specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and tim-bound.
​
Have relevant existing dat about your project, highlight urgency, and focus on the main problem without being to wordy.
​
Grants can be very competitive, to increase your chances of receiving funding, submit requests for multiple funding options.
​
Most grant applications are required to be filled out and submitted by teachers, so you may need to have a teacher fill out the grant inquiry form that is required for many grant applications.
​
Then you would be able to write the grant application and have them submit it for the funding.
