Every funder seems to ask for something a little different. And with tightening budgets and more competition for fewer dollars, nonprofits can't afford to guess what reviewers are really looking for. Here's the good news: Beneath the differences in terminology and formatting, most funders are evaluating the same core things. Once you know what those are, you can build a repeatable system for strengthening any proposal, no matter the funder's requirements. In this webinar, Alice Ruhnke will introduce a Grants Scorecard: a reusable tool you can apply to any grant application to evaluate your writing before you hit submit. You'll learn how to spot the difference between a section that's exemplary and one that's merely adequate … and exactly what to fix in between. You'll learn how to: Use a Grants Scorecard to evaluate and strengthen key sections of your proposal; Identify what funders expect in your organizational background, statement of need, approach, goals, evaluation plan, and budget; Pinpoint the specific areas of your applications that need the most improvement and prioritize your revision time accordingly. No two grant applications are identical, but the Grants Scorecard gives you a consistent, repeatable framework you can apply to every proposal. This will help your organization write faster, stronger applications and compete more confidently for the funding your mission depends on.
