Grant writing can be intimidating and daunting to the
inexperienced person but for a professional Grant Writer Sydney it
is a source of pride to write and win a grant.
3
PA G E
qGrant writing does require some specific writing skills but like any skill it can be learnt,
honed and developed.
qWhen grant writing it is best to divide the process into several smaller more manageable
stages and approach the grant writing process with organisation and commitment.
4
PA G E
Stage number 1 – Read the grant opportunity
Ø Although it may seem obvious the grant writer first needs to read the grant
opportunity.
Ø Reading the grant program guidelines in detail and multiple times is imperative. The
successful Grant Writer will tell you attention to detail is paramount in a winning grant
application.
5
PA G E
Ø The Grant Writer is checking for eligibility – does the organisation applying for the
grant meets the grant opportunity requirements to the letter?
Ø In addition, the professional grant writer is developing a checklist to ensure the grant
application meets the expectations in the grant opportunity.
Ø What formatting expectations are involved? When is the deadline for submission?
What evidence or documentation to support the application is required?
6
PA G E
Stage number 2 – Complete the application
Ø Our Grant writer in Melbourne will complete a professionally written grant application
that is simple and organised to read.
Ø It is important the grant writer avoid the use of technical jargon rather use concise and
clear language that attracts the interest of the grant selection committee.
7
PA G E
Ø As part of the grant writing process the grant writer needs to definitively demonstrate
that there is a match between the project or program and the funding aims of the
grant opportunity then further establishes how the applicant organisation and their
program or project will provide a better result or solution than everyone else who is
competing for the grant.
Ø To be successful the grant writer should include to clear goals, aims and objectives.
Ø The more clarity demonstrated by the grant writer for this component of the
application the better chance the outcome will be favourable.
8
PA G E
Ø Within the application the grant writer defines the aim or overarching goal of the
organisation and demonstrates how the applicant will fill a need, product, or service in
the community the goal should be a clear statement of what is to be accomplished
using the requested funding.
Ø The objectives are the smaller strategies or steps that will enable the applicant
organisation to achieve their goal.
9
PA G E
Ø The grant writer must persuasive and convincing in motivating the grant selection
committee to select the applicant organisation to receive the grant funding – therefore
the writing completed for the application process is critically important.
10
PA G E
Stage number 3 – Submit the application
Ø The grant writer is aware that the grant application must be submitted prior to the
deadline.
Ø A late grant submission is often automatically excluded from the selection process.
11
PA G E
Stage number 4 – Receive the Grant
Ø The selection process is quite often a lengthy one – lasting up to several months.
Ø In the meanwhile, if the selection committee request further information or
documents provide this as promptly as possible.
12
PA G E
Stage number 5 – Report the Outcomes
Ø When an organisation is successful in receiving grant funding there will be an
expectation for evaluating and reporting the success of the project or program.
Ø Often the grant writer will include within the application process how the outcome will
be determined.
Ø What will be the important performance indicators? How will success of the objectives
and goals be measured? .
13
PA G E
Ø Although there are definitive steps within the grant writing process the amount of time
a grant writer spends on each one will depend on the parameters and expectations of
each grant opportunity.
