Tip 3 Use the Right Language

• Many organizations don't understand the nuances
  of grant writing and how to properly seek funding
  from potential donors.
• To increase your chances of success, its
  essential to use the right language when grant
  writing to seek funding for your technology
  project. 

10

• First, it is important to recognize that grant
  writers are not salespeople they are
  storytellers. Grant writers must be able to weave
  a compelling narrative about why the organization
  deserves funding.
• Grant writers should also demonstrate an
  understanding of the donor's mission and values,
  as well as an ability to explain how their
  project will help fulfill those goals in concrete
  terms.

11

• The language used should be persuasive yet
  professional, focusing on facts rather than
  emotion or opinion-based appeals, making an
  undeniable case for why the proposed project is
  worthy of investment. 

12

• Second, grant writers should seek to match the
  language of the grant documentation.
• If the grant being offered has a high technical
  focus and the language used within the grant
  documentation has a strong technical bias, then
  the grant writer should seek to match that
  language and speak about their project in
  technical terms.
• However, if the grant parameters are not
  technical, you should reflect this in your grant
  writing efforts by concentrating on more general
  benefits like societal advancement, decreased
  operating expenses, etcetera.

13

• Matching the grant writing language to the
  criteria and objectives of the grant providers is
  the most important technique to establish a
  connection with the assessors, regardless of the
  subject matter of the award.

  and clearly articulate how the proposed
  technology project will benefit its intended
  audience or stakeholders.
• They must be able to identify potential
  challenges or areas of improvement that can be
  addressed by leveraging the proposed technology.

15

• Additionally, they should provide examples of
  successful projects using similar technologies
  which have generated positive outcomes.
• Doing so will enhance credibility when presenting
  a case for investment in your technology project
  and help secure funding from granting
  organizations.
