Storytelling is not only a key to successful fundraising efforts with individual donors. Storytelling is a key element for successful grant writing as well. While some grant applications lend themselves to a major donor style story, even government grant applications tell a story to the reviewer. Grant writing should not feel impersonal. Competitive grants draw the reviewer into the need and the proposed program or project and engage them in such a way that they are compelled to advocate for the proposal.
During this on-demand webinar, you will learn:
- How your organization’s story looks and potentially sounds different between foundation and government proposals
- How to use engaging stories in foundation grant applications
- How to effectively integrate stories in government grant applications
- How to tell your organization’s story in character counted, choppy, online applications
