Grant Proposal: Statement of Need Assignment Instructions
Overview
The best way to learn the knowledge and skills of grant writing is to write a Grant Proposal. Each section of the grant proposal project will develop your knowledge, skills and techniques used in the preparation of professional grant proposals. A grant proposal must convincingly present and justify your ability to complete a project to a funding agency. Funding agencies also have very specific requirements in the application process. Each grant proposal project will introduce you to the sections most commonly required by a private funding agency.
Instructions
Submit a 1-page “Statement of Need” as the first part of your actual Grant Proposal. Remember this item is critical. It should be a comprehensive, coherent, and concise description of “the problem” your organization faces and written in a way that is persuasive and encourages a Grant Maker to want to partnership with your organization to solve it.
