Grant-Writing Toolkit
Clients often ask us if we have pre-packaged language that they can insert into grants. Although we can't provide specific wording since requirements for grants vary, we do have a "talking points" list that you can use as a starting point for addressing several areas of your grant. We also have a Frequently Asked Funding Questions list with answers to common questions.
