Successful fundraising applications...

The quality of writing is obviously very important when it comes to applying for funding from charitable trusts and foundations, and being able to convey a project or concept in simply terms is a skill in itself. However, there is more to a successful application that just the words.

When applying for a grant, you need to:

1. Plan
2. Develop clear processes
3. Develop well-defined projects
4. Research

And you need to do all of this before the writing begins!
