How to: Grant application writing
How to write grant applications that get read — and sometimes funded. Step by step from project description to submission.
In short
- 1 A grant application has three parts: project description, budget, and artistic CV.
- 2 Read the funder's stated purpose carefully — and write the application so your project fits their aim.
- 3 The project description answers six questions: who, what, where, how, when, and why.
- 4 Budget and schedule belong in every application — even when they aren't mandatory.
- 5 Start early, proofread, and submit before the deadline — never late at night.
