This Fall when our team got together for a planning retreat, we had fun filming short clips with #grantstips including short one-liners. ICYMI or want a refresher of our tips, here it is for your viewing pleasure:

When I posted the video to LinkedIn, I tagged some of my trusted colleagues in the field to find out what one-line grant tips they would add to our montage, and they didn’t let me down. Here are a few additional tips for you to consider.

“Logic models can be your friends.” – Kimberly Hays de Muga, GPC

“Don’t use industry jargon.” – Trish Bachman

“Use active voice and centered on the beneficiaries.” – Becky Jascoviak, MBA, GPC, RSM

“If you’re tight on space, reference other sections where you have more space to share additional details.” – Rachel Werner, MPA, GPC, PMP

“Read the RFP three times!” – Terri Grissom

“Learn from your subject matter experts!” – Amanda Day, GPC
