Management Tips » Grants
Grants are funds distributed by a group (often a government institution or foundation) to a nonprofit. These funds come after a grant proposal has been drafted, which explains for what the organization plans to use the money. The majority of grants are used to fund specific projects or events. Grant writing is either done by the nonprofit or by an outside party. An ideal grant application will explain why the organization needs the requested funds, the nonprofit’s budget, other organizational information, and how the success of the project in question will be evaluated.
