| Grant Research The fact is, with so many programs covering so many different areas, it's hard to be ineligible for all of them, and the only magic involved is finding the right program and pursuing until you get the funds. Perseverance is the key factor that usually separates those who succeed in getting grant money from those who do not. Remember, it is not going to require just one telephone call to convince some foundations to send you a check in the mail. What normally happens is that little bureaucratic hurdles will be put in your way, and how you handle them will determine the success or failure of your getting a financial boost. First Steps: 1. Contact the agency in charge of the program you want 2. Prepare a preliminary proposal 3. Look for support 4. Request a grant application kit 5. Accumulate all necessary information 6. State the problem 7. State the outcome 8. Prepare a budget 9. Get the final proposal reviewed 10. Be Neat 11. Always ask for advice |
