Big Ideas About TEaCHING & Learning: Writing WINNING Grant Proposals!




Writing WINNING Grant Proposals

This will be the SHORTEST article you ever read about proposal writing!

My rules of success have been established via wisdom earned through lessons learned:

  1. Know your funder's giving priorities completely.
  2. Provide required information in proper format.
  3. Present detailed, concise, organized budgets.
  4. Develop clear, focused, re-useable program narratives.
  5. Ask peers to review your drafts.
  6. Save time by using a template!

Check out the following WINNING proposal writing templates I have published at TeachersPayTeachers.com (an online marketplace for teachers):
