• Winning grants are those that answer all
  questions clearly and make it easy for the grant
  evaluator or reviewers to find the information
  they require.
• When organising the grant proposal, the Grant
  Writer NT will usually answer the questions or
  criterion in the order they are asked.
• This makes the document structure more readily
  perused by the potential reviewer and increases
  potential for the grant proposal to be viewed
  positively and ultimately successfully.

• The Grant Writer Sydney knows how important it is
  to follow the specifications for word or page
  limits the type, format and number of
  attachments permissible and how the grant funder
  wants to receive the proposal.
• This attention to detail in formatting and
  ability to follow directions means the proposal
  will be accepted by the funder and the rest of
  their grant application is aimed at selling the
  proposal.

• Grant Writer will also look at the eligibility
  requirements of the grant to ensure their client
  organisation falls clearly within the parameters
  - it is absolutely no use writing the perfect
  grant proposal if the project or program isnt
  compatible with the funding requirements.

• Grant Writer focus on detailing how the grant
  funding will help their client organisation to
  accomplish their goal or mission.
• They ensure there is a strong focus on the
  competence and achievability in the application
  as they know grant funders or providers will
  select funding proposals that stand the best
  chance of success and will have the greatest
  impact on the target group.

• In order to impart large amounts of information
  Grant Writer will use lists and bullet points in
  an organised and easy to read format that doesnt
  overwhelm or confuse the evaluation team.

• The Grant Writer use their expertise and
  experience to provide a summary of their client
  organisation - their goals, mission, philosophy,
  successes and commitment to their stakeholders
  and core beneficiaries that enables the
  evaluation team to have a great background
  knowledge of the applicant organisation.
• Also part of the summary the Grant Writer
  introduces the main organisation people involved
  and give a brief description of their qualities
  and experience.

• To round out the application the Grant Writer
  outlines the project or program they are seeking
  funding for by answering the questions
• Why is the project or program needed?
• What is the goal or outcome of the project or
  program and how is this measurable?
• Who will benefit from it?

• What will the project or program entail?
  Providing a detailed action plan and strategies
  to achieve the goal.
• The expected timeline for implementing the
  project or program.
• The staffing required to complete the planned
  program and what qualifications, knowledge or
  skills they require.

• When it comes to the budget the funder will want
  to know about the existing financial situation of
  the applicant organisation as well as expecting a
  specific and detailed budget breakdown for the
  funds that are being applied for under the grant.
  
• It needs to be easy to understand as well as
  detailed and the Grant Writer will use an
  organised and structured format to impart this
  information successfully to the funding
  evaluation team.

• There are a lot of important components to a
  grant application and producing a winning
  application requires attention to detail, good
  writing skills and the ability to read and
  understand the requirements of the funding body.
