Grant Writing Hacks 

We all know that the grant writing application process can be tedious and time consuming, and most of the time our volunteer based Affiliates don’t know where to start. Sports Community understands these challenges and have provide their Top 5 grant writing hacks below.

1. Focus on people, not stuff: Talk about the impact the project will have in the community.

2. Do your research: Demonstrate the need within the community and use demographic data to support your claim. Clearly reference evidence-based research and use it to justify your application.

3. Professionally present your club and your members: Make sure your club is presented as competent and capable of executing the proposed plan. This means your application needs to flow well and tell the amazing story of your club. 

4. Use visual materials: Provide photos, use tables or insert graphics into your document. Or, attach a well-produced video or slideshow! 

5. Follow the rules and address the criteria: Sounds obvious, but so many people miss this step!
