Grant Writing – Issues that will count against you in the assessment process

3. Grant Writing – Issues that will count against you in the
assessment process?
Many grant writers think that the grant writing process is pretty easy
and you just fill out an application form and tell a sad tale of how badly
your organisation needs the money and low and behold – funding is
provided.
Grant writing as I have said many many times before really needs a
strategic approach in order to maximise the chances of success.
4. Grant Writing – Issues that will count against you in the
assessment process?
In progressing your submission you really need to be aware of issues
that will count against you when the assessment panel sit down to
wade through the zillion applications because virtually with every grant
program – you will have significant competition to win that funding.
5. Grant Writing – Issues that will count against you in the
assessment process?
These following pointers will certainly discount your application from
further consideration:-
Acronyms – some grant writers have the misunderstanding that those
reading the submissions will be fully conversant with their organisation
and what they do and as such us acronyms throughout their submission.
This is certainly a flawed belief given that in the main those that are
assessing your application will generally have little knowledge of your
organisation and will certainly struggle to understand any acronyms used.
6. Grant Writing – Issues that will count against you in the
assessment process?
Our grant writers always assume that those reading the submission have
little to no knowledge so we always spell things out and never ever use an
Acronym without first introducing early in the application as to what the
acronym stands for.
7. Grant Writing – Issues that will count against you in the
assessment process?
Word/Page/Character limits – these are identified at times and for very
good reasons. You are being tested as to whether you can present a
compelling case within those constraints. Also program managers are
trying to retain control of how long the assessment process will take and
so by constraining submissions with word/page limits – this similarly
reduces the time required to assess submissions. If you go over
page/word/character limits your submission will probably end immediately
in the garbage pile.
8. Grant Writing – Issues that will count against you in the
assessment process?
Eligibility – with every grant there are eligibility requirements as to the
type of organisation that can apply, maybe there will be location
restrictions as in only organisations in a local area or state can apply, so if
you organisation does not meet the locality or organisational type
eligibility criteria – you wont get past first base;
9. Grant Writing – Issues that will count against you in the

Not responding fully to questions/criteria – I note with some interest that
our grant writing competitors think your answers to questions or selection
criteria etc must be short and succinct. I agree that answers and responses
must be relevant and well written to get the attention of the panel but
they certainly don’t have to be short answers. This is your chance to sell
your organisation, sell your project and sell your need for this grant money
so you need to prepare compelling interesting and comprehensive answers
that really fully address whatever you are asked to provide or respond to. I
always say – if in doubt provide a little more information that leave the
assessment panel wondering.
10. Grant Writing – Issues that will count against you in the
assessment process?
Fully completed application form – this does sound ridiculous but the
number of grant submissions that are sent in and which are not fully
completed has to be seen to be believed. So if you want the assessment
panel to consider your submission fully – make sure you complete it in full,
sign it or have it electronically singed as required, ensure every section/box
is completed or ticked and ensure ALL required attachments are supplied if
they ask for them.
11. Grant Writing – Issues that will count against you in the
assessment process?
The outstanding grant writer will leave the assessment panel convinced
that this project and this organisation should win this funding.
Those people unskilled in the grant writing process will make one of the
mistakes as outlined above and this will cruel any chances of success.
