Writing a Grant Proposal
that Will Get Funded!
Leigh Zeitz
Writing a
      Successful Proposal
♦ Start with a good
  idea
♦ Locate a source
  funding similar
  ideas
♦ Design, craft and
  develop your idea
  into a well-written
  statement.
Begin with the 3 Ps

♦P roject
♦P ermission
♦P lan
Start with a Good Idea
♦ Consider your
 proposal to be
 lemonade.
  – You idea is the
    powder
  – The foundations’
    support is the water
♦ Your proposal must
 be a solution,
         not a plea.
Use your Problem
         as Your Guide
♦ Identify a problem
  that is manageable
  and solvable.
♦ Don’t try to
  eliminate illiteracy
  in the U.S.
♦ Pilot test a project
  in your district.
Process
♦ Identify the problem with specific
 indicators.
  – The ITBS indicates that 50% of our 4th
    graders read below grade level.
♦ Identify the possible cause of the
 problem.
  – 4th graders spend enough time
    reading at home.
Process
♦ Identify your potential solution.
   – Create a “Read-At-Home” program
   – Provide reading level appropriate
     books as rewards for reading.
   – Need funding for purchasing the books
     for rewards.
Locate a Funder
          with Similar Ideas
♦ Find funders who share
  your ideas.
♦ They have already
  funded similar projects.
♦ They have already
  funded your type of
  organization.
♦ They share your vision.
How Do You Know Who?
♦ Search the Web
♦ Identify
 Resources
  – Look at our
    Course Resources
♦ Read their RFPs
  – Request For
    Proposal
Design, Craft and Develop
♦ Be methodical
♦ Address the needs and provide
  solutions
♦ Write well
♦ Address your audience
♦ Plan your time
The Tone of Your
Proposal
♦ To persuade effectively, your
  argument must appeal to your
  audience’s beliefs and interests.
♦ The proposal is not the means to
  change their beliefs.
♦ You will not be successful unless
  you match your project to their
  interests.
Know your audience!
♦ What kind of organization are
  you submitting to?
♦ What are their funding interests?
♦ What have they funded in the
  past?
♦ Who will be reading your
  proposal?
♦ Who will be making the
         funding decision?
Watch your language!
♦ Jargon –
   – usually bad, but
     sometimes
     necessary.
♦ Complaints
♦ Dull prose
♦ Who will benefit
  from this project?
Most Importantly . . .

Believe in what
    you are
  proposing!!
What
proposal
 ideas do
you have?
Any Questions?

  • 5. Use your Problem as Your Guide ♦ Identify a problem that is manageable and solvable. ♦ Don’t try to eliminate illiteracy in the U.S. ♦ Pilot test a project in your district.
  • 6. Process ♦ Identify the problem with specific indicators. – The ITBS indicates that 50% of our 4th graders read below grade level. ♦ Identify the possible cause of the problem. – 4th graders spend enough time reading at home.

  • 10. Design, Craft and Develop ♦ Be methodical ♦ Address the needs and provide solutions ♦ Write well ♦ Address your audience ♦ Plan your time
  • 11. The Tone of Your Proposal ♦ To persuade effectively, your argument must appeal to your audience’s beliefs and interests. ♦ The proposal is not the means to change their beliefs. ♦ You will not be successful unless you match your project to their interests.
  • 12. Know your audience! ♦ What kind of organization are you submitting to? ♦ What are their funding interests? ♦ What have they funded in the past? ♦ Who will be reading your proposal? ♦ Who will be making the funding decision?
  • 13. Watch your language! ♦ Jargon – – usually bad, but sometimes necessary. ♦ Complaints ♦ Dull prose ♦ Who will benefit from this project?
