Don' Take No For An Answer When It Comes To Federal GrantsWritten by Robert Smethers
Continued from page 1
Know your funding source. It will help you to know how to sound and feel in your proposal. Always back things up in fact and a clear understanding of need for funding. Prepare a budget that is easy to read and clear on what it is you want to do. Always fully explain everything that is going to cost and include other match funding from other organizations At all cost never, ever slop together a proposal and hope for best. It never works and they see this right away. Do not spend a lot of money going all out on presentation. It almost never impresses funding agency. If you do not receive a federal grant. Ask in writing why. This will help you do further applications. It will help you do a better job redoing your proposal.Never give up! If you are put on a waiting list or denied outright, don’t wait. Revamp and polish your federal government grants proposal and hand it in somewhere else. Each time your federal grant proposal gets better. You may also appeal some federal government grants agencies. This gets you into a face to face meeting with the department head. I have overturned denials this way.  
I am a college student and single parent who relies on federal grants everyday. I built this free website that help find grants. http://www.federal-grant-news.com/federal-grants.html
