How do you tell your organization’s story in only 2,500 characters? 150 words? How do you create a storyline for the reviewer to follow when you have numerous fillable fields to complete online that may or may not be read in the order that you complete them on the screen?
Online grant applications are here to stay and bring a great deal of efficiency to the grant seeking and grantmaking process. However, the process looks and feels less personal.
One of the most common challenges with online applications is how to have yours stand out in a sea of applications when you are all faced with the same formatting restrictions and character or word limited requirements.
Join this webinar to learn how to create a concise, compelling, and competitive application for online grant application scenarios. Utilizing previously submitted applications, we will look at specific examples to see what works best to capture grantmakers’ attention and discuss how to create strong online applications that win grants, including:
- How to make your application stand out in an impersonal online process.
- How to make each response a success on its own.
- How to grab your reviewer’s attention in the short space available.
- How to use character and word counts to your advantage in telling a compelling story.
- How to create a consistent story across all your application components.
