  2. Conceptualizing the Grant Proposal To write a good grant application, the writer needs to perform detailed research in advance. In addition to deciding the most appropriate type of grant, he must gather detailed information about the specific grant program. The initial research will make it easier for the writer to decide the best way to utilize the grant money, understanding the priorities of the funder, highlight importance of the project, and explain how the project meets the funder’s priorities. The conceptualization will enable the writer to write a good grant proposal quickly.

  3. Conveying Objective of the Project Clearly The purpose and objective of each grant vary. Most funders evaluate grant applications based on the objectives of the grant program and a set of priorities set by them. So the grant application must clearly convey details of the project in a brief but clear way. In addition to stating all goals and rationale of the project, the writer also needs to mention the specific problems addressed by the project. The experienced writers often keep the need statement of the application restricted to one sentence.

  4. Meeting the Funder’s Priority A good grant application must convince the funder that the project matches all his priorities. The writer can always refer to his initial research to understand the priorities of the funder. In addition to understanding the instructions and proposals provided by the funder, the writer need to identify commonly used keywords. Likewise, he must check the other projects sponsored by the funder to understand his requirements and priorities accurately. The writer must convince the funder that the project meets all his priorities and requirements, while using the same keywords used by him. He can even consider adding summaries to explain how the project meets all priorities and requirements of the funder.

  5. Keeping the Funder Engaged There are always chances that a funder may review several grant applications on a single day. A good grant application must be effective in keeping the funder engaged and read the proposal fully. The writer must keep both sentences and paragraphs short and use active voice, while avoiding jargons, idioms, and clichés. Likewise, he also needs to pick the most appropriate font size, indents, subheadings and formatting to make the proposal more readable and engaging. He can even consider using additional white space between two sections or paragraphs to make the grant application more appealing.
