How to Engage a Grant Reviewer and Improve Your Chances of Funding
Engaging the reader of your grant application is one of the most important steps in increasing your chances of getting funded. In this post, I’ll share three key strategies to help you capture and maintain the attention of your grant reviewer.
Start with a Compelling Story
The first step in engaging a grant reviewer is to start with a story that brings your project to life. Instead of opening with dry facts, tell a story that humanizes the problem and shows the need for your project.
Use Clear, Concise, and Engaging Language
Next, make sure your writing is easy to follow. Use simple, clear language that avoids jargon, and structure your proposal in a way that’s easy to navigate.
Back Up Your Claims with Data
Finally, support your arguments with data and use visuals where possible. Charts and graphs can help break up the text and make complex information more digestible.
