Grant Mentorship
No grant proposal is written in a vacuum. Ideas should be debated,
paragraphs should be rewritten, and objectives should be re-evaluated.
While this can be a tiring process, it is critically important.
Fortunately, there is an increasingly popular method for making
this process easier: Grant Mentors.
A Grant Mentor can be a colleague within your organization, a friend
who works in a similar field, or a professional grant writer from
ND&A. A grant mentor is someone who can review your proposal
through the eyes of the funder and provide you with constructive
feedback:
· Is the Project Summary comprehensive and compelling?
· Are the measurable outcomes detailed enough?
· Is our proposed project consistent with the funder’s
goals?
Not even the most experienced grant writer should send a grant out
the door without having it reviewed by someone as unfamiliar with
the project as the potential funder. Grant Mentorship is a cost-effective
way for you to ensure your organization is submitting an effective
proposal while simultaneously strengthening your own understanding
of the granting process.
