  areas such as marketing or product development.

• Grant writers can provide invaluable insight into
  areas such as budgeting and outlining clear goals
  and objectives that will make your proposal stand
  out from the rest.
• In addition, working with a grant writer can help
  you become more familiar with relevant legal and
  compliance regulations which are often required
  for certain types of grants.

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.

8

• 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.
• 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.

9

• 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.
• 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.

  organizations.
