Myths About Women and Weight Lifting … Er, Grant Proposal Writing! | Pamela Grow's Grantwriting Blog: "o, what, pray-tell does women’s weight lifting have to do with writing grant proposals?
Well, just like women and weight lifting, a lot of myths have built up around writing grant proposals over the years. Here are just a few:
We can’t rely on foundation funding.
Truth: Nonsense. I‘ve worked with organizations that derive a good 70-80% of their overall budgets from foundation funding. And, while well diversified, sustainable funding is important, there is no reason why, with a well run system of developing compelling proposals and sending and tracking your grant requests and reports on a regular basis, you can’t begin relying on foundation grant funding for a major portion of your budget today while you build upon other areas of support."
