The library has its idea for a project or service – and even has a funder in mind. But writing the grant proposal, tracking all the required forms and documents, and aligning to the funder’s priorities can be a daunting task. Get started on the right path with guidance for planning and organizing the elements of the proposal; analyzing and embedding funder priorities across the application; designing the plan with successful management built in from the start. The best practices shared reflect experience administering grant programs, serving as a grant reviewer, and winning competitive grants.
Learning objectives for this session may include:
- Understand the common elements of a grant proposal and develop an organized approach to their completion
- Analyze proposal guidelines and embed funder priorities across the application
- Design manageable projects reflective of proposal schedule, reporting, and budgetary requirements
