Grant Writing Tips
1. Grant Project
Do you have a problem that needs to be solved?
Identify your need and create a project or program to address that need.
2. Identify Potential Funding Sources
Keep your eyes and ears open for available funding opportunities. Put future opportunities into your calendar. Read your EBRPSS Funding Emails : )
3. Need Statement
Be creative when you write your Need Statement. Build your case with data.
Utilize your writing skills here ~ include a human interest story or example to make it personal.
4. Goals and Objectives
Educators are experts at writing goals and objectives! You've got this : )
Generally, one section of the application requests information about what you will accomplish and the steps to do so.
Goals can be broad, used to define the overall purpose of the program.
Objectives can be the measurable changes expected as a result of the program.
Make the objectives specific: who will benefit from the program, how many, and in what time frame.
If there are several goals, relate objectives to the appropriate goal.
5. Evaluation
How will you measure your success? What is the student impact?
Clearly communicate your plans to assess the program and measure impact.
Measurement tools may be data collection, surveys, photos, student projects/samples, sign in sheets, etc. Include what is being measured and how often each tool will be used.
Progress Monitoring - ongoing measurement and periodic evaluation, adjustments and changes can be made to the program to improve the results.
Measurement and evaluation should directly relate to the objectives of the program plan and funding request.
6. Budget
Double check the application to be sure that you do not include non-allowable expenses. Common exclusions are salaries, food, etc.
All expenses must be reasonable and project specific.
Make sure include all items written in your narrative in your budget. They should match.
Do not include a miscellaneous category.
