Yes, it is time consuming; and yes, you do take a risk of your application being turned down; but there are many steps you can take ahead of time to help ensure success.FIRST, before you even consider writing a grant, make sure you have on file the kinds of documents you'll need for most grant submissions: Mission statementBy-laws and articles of incorporationOrganizational chartOrganizational historyAudit or, if an audit is not required, a financial statementFavorable newspaper articles about your organizations, and other PR materialsSufficient copier paper, FedEx packages, binders, dividers, etc.Having these at the ready will make the writing process go much easier.SECOND, after you've done your homework and isolated a funding source to which you want to apply, READ THE APPLICATION CAREFULLY.
