The Grant Writing Process
Submit!
1. Backlog
When a project is agreed upon, it is assigned to a Lead Writer and added to the Team Backlog.
6. Final
(V-4 Final)
- Any edits from the client’s final review (if any) have been completed, and any modified narratives are within word/character limits.
- The application has been submitted.
5. V-3 Draft
(Government)
The draft document has no outstanding comments and has been sent for final review by the client for foundation grants OR to mock review for government grants.
2. Sprint Planning
Each week on Tuesdays at 2:00 pm ET, the team meets to plan the upcoming Sprint, which is one week long. They lay out a timeline of the iterations or versions for the projects added in the Team Backlog.
3. V-1 Draft
Application deadline has been reconfirmed by the Lead Writer starting the v1.
Application elements have been drafted based on a preview from the application portal or other guidelines provided by the grantmaker.
