How to: Application writing

In short

1. 1 A grant application has three parts: project description, budget, and artistic CV.
2. 2 Read the funder's stated purpose carefully — and write the application so your project fits their aim.
3. 3 The project description answers six questions: who, what, where, how, when, and why.
4. 4 Budget and schedule belong in every application — even when they aren't mandatory.
5. 5 Start early, proofread, and submit before the deadline — never late at night.
