Thank you for these tips. I’m pretty sure I followed them when preparing my recent application to the Ontario Arts Council. My application was denied. I haven’t followed through with the funder’s Arts Education officer but I plan to. Maybe if I’d applied with an organization that had received funding before, it might have been easier.

Always a tough thing to get grants, but having tips helps.

If I’d had this & charged a dollar for every person who has asked me to write grants for them, I would’ve been a richer than Oprah!!

These are good points to hand out and keep a printout handy for future reference!

This is a nice, concise post with some useful tips.
I think it would be even better if the bold headlines 1-8 were all worded as mistakes to match the title of the post. (For example, “6. Is the proposal neat and easy to read?” is something you should do, while “7. Is your proposal filled to the brim with the latest jargon?” is something you should Not do.)
