Grant writing refers to the practice of completing formal and/or informal application processes by one party, often a nonprofit entity, educational institution or business – but also by individuals to another party such as a Government department, Corporation, Foundation or Trust. Such application processes are often referred to as either grant “proposals” or “submissions”.
As philanthropy continues to grow, so too does the number of grant makers and grant seekers. Consequently grant makers may request more complex or in depth information within their application process. However, there are many consistencies across various grant makers and over time some common principles have led to the development of somewhat generic application processes, with the main differences being related to the depth and quality of information various grant makers require, rather than the type of information they are looking for.
