Grant Writing Framework
Overview
Grants are lifeblood for nonprofits, but most proposals fail because they're unfocused, poorly structured, or don't align with funder priorities. This playbook shows you how to research funders, write compelling narratives, build realistic budgets, and submit proposals that win. Whether you're pursuing a $5K community grant or a $500K multi-year award, the fundamentals are the same.
Step 1: Research and Select the Right Grants
The #1 mistake: Applying to grants you have no chance of winning. Grant writing is time-intensive — target strategically.
Grant Research Checklist
Where to find grants:
- Foundation databases: Candid/Foundation Directory (paid, comprehensive), GrantWatch (free/paid tiers)
- Government grants: Grants.gov (federal, US), state/local government websites
- Corporate giving programs: Company websites → CSR/Community Impact sections
- Community foundations: Search "[your city] community foundation"
- Your network: Other nonprofits, board members, donors often know funders
