A common mistake of many grant proposals is not providing enough information for the funder to truly understand the program. This session will guide attendees on what key program components funders expect to read about in a grant proposal. Using the Kipling method often used in journalism for complete and concise writing, this session will provide a format to gather and write about the information funders need: 

1) Who is providing services and who is receiving services? 
2) What activities are taking place? 
3) When are services provided? 
4) Where are activities taking place? 
5) Why are these activities effective in addressing the problem? 
6) How do you know the activities are effective?

What you will learn:

  • Core questions program descriptions should answer
  • How to tailor these answers to the space allowed by the grant funder
