Grant writing is part art, part science. The art is in crafting a compelling narrative that connects your mission to the funder's priorities. The science is in structuring your application to answer every question the evaluator will ask.
Start with the funder's guidelines — not your own talking points. Every funder has specific priorities, and your application should demonstrate clear alignment. Generic applications that could be sent to any funder rarely win.
Structure matters more than most applicants realize. Evaluators read dozens of applications. The ones with clear headings, logical flow, and specific metrics stand out. Make it easy for them to score you well.
Finally, budget justification is where many applications fall short. Every line item should connect back to your program activities. Funders want to see that their money directly enables the outcomes you've promised.
