There are several components to grant writing
for NFP(Not For Profit) organisations.
3
Identify the Issue

• For many NFP organisations they have a wish list
  of programs or projects that will benefit their
  community and improve their services but often
  funding holds them back from achieving all of
  these items on their wish list.
• Unfortunately fundraising will only go so far so
  for many organisations grants become the lifeline
  to achieve their goals and objectives.

4

• The grant writer can assist the NFP organisation
  in their grant writing.
• The grant writer will start with identifying the
  selection criteria expected to be addressed in
  the application and will liaise with the
  organisation representative to answer each
  criterion in a structured and easy to follow
  format.

5

• Often through sitting down and explaining the
  project or program the organisation can refine
  their message.
• If they discuss this with the grant writer
  Sydney, the grant writer is able to use the
  information gained to develop a written version
  of the project or program for inclusion in the
  grant proposal.

6
Know the community

• As part of the grant proposal the grant writer
  needs to clearly identify and elaborate on the
  positive outcomes for the community as a result
  of the project or program going ahead.
• They need to clearly identify which community
  members are the focus of the project and how the
  project/program will address the identified
  issue.

7

• The grant funders need to definitively know that
  their funding will benefit positively the
  identified community members and how this will
  happen.
• The grant writer NT therefore needs to have this
  information and provide it within the grant
  application.

8
Define the solution

• The NFP organisation develops their
  project/program based on their knowledge of the
  issue and the community that it will be presented
  in then defines their goals and objectives and
  develops an action plan or strategy to refine
  their program.
• The grant writer develops a grant proposal that
  clearly communicates this information and
  addresses the required selection criteria and
  requirements of the grant to submit the completed
  grant application.

9
Describe how the organisation can deliver their
program goals

• As the grant writer works through the grant
  document they will generally write notes or
  bullet points using the key words contained in
  the document as a starting point for the grant
  application.
• These notes are the beginning of the creative
  process and identify any areas where further
  information or research will be necessary as well
  as listing the supporting documentation and
  evidence required such as organisational
  profiles, policies and procedures and financial
  records.

10

• The budget for the program or project should be
  fully and comprehensively costed and presented in
  a legible and understandable format.
• Grant writers have the experience and knowhow to
  support the NFP organisation to achieve this
  effortlessly.

11
Presenting the application

• Formatting the application is something the grant
  writer is extremely competent and experienced in
  doing.
• They will ensure that it is presented in a
  legible, professional format using headers, bold
  font, bullet points and a professional and
  legible font to guarantee that the evaluator will
  find it easy to peruse and understand.

12

• Using a professional grant writer gives the NFP
  organisation the benefit of someone who has
  experience and competency in grant applications
  and increases their chances of being successful
  in their application.
