The Writing Matters: At
end of
day what matters is
kind of proposal a loan seeking organization sends to
government or any funding agency. The proposal should be such that it clearly brings out
needs and objectives of
organization. An effective proposal acts as a mirror of
organization’s desires and
goals that it seeks to achieve. The more impressive a proposal is
greater are
chances of getting a good amount of grant. So while writing a grant proposal some vital points should be kept in mind.
There are two types of letters in this case-
letter of intent, which is a brief summary of
project and
aims desired to be achieved through it. The needs of
grant seeker must be specifically highlighted along with
manner in which these funds will fulfill these needs. Second is
letter of proposal, which delineates
entire project and
requirements, which are to be met by
funds. This letter how so ever long should not be devoid of a cover letter, a proposal summary, nearly ten pages of proposal text,
objectives and goals decided and appendices providing more details of
project. Any agency or government granting
loan has particular criteria to select
organization and
amount of grant to be given like interviews, observation, past record and
like. However a proposal can be too helpful in providing an impetus to these later activities.
If you are looking forward to a grant then don’t hesitate in doing to slog for a little hard work done now will bear incredible benefits in
future…
