#4 of Grant Reviewers’ Top 5 Tips for Grant Writers

As a grant writer, I’ve heard it dozens of times. The key to a successful proposal is to ‘get inside the grant reviewer’s head’. How in the world do you do that, when you don’t know exactly who is reviewing your grant? This is especially difficult when a grant fund holder might not be especially forthcoming with insights and information.

If you clicked into my last video blog, you’ll know that I hosted a bonus session for The Confident Grant Writer learning cohort with a panel of three grant reviewers, from different funder backgrounds. What was especially interesting is that their advice, from varying perspectives, came together with several common threads. I’m sharing their top 5 tips in this series of video blogs.

This blog, #4 of the top 5 tips, helps you get into the grant reviewer’s head by using their own language to reflect how your work reinforces their values. Take a listen here: Tip #4 from a Grant Review
