Grant Writing

INTRODUCTION

Writing a grant in order to obtain much-needed funding almost seems possible. The do’s and don’ts are not so obvious to those who are merely trying to make the world better – such as our Patient Advocates.

This Masterclass will clearly outline why a well-thought-out and well-written grant will receive the attention you need. You should always include the Theory of Change – this should be the center of any grant. If you want to know more about how this Theory impacts a donor’s opinion of your organisation, please watch this Masterclass.

Patrick Ngahu, a financial grant compliance trainer, is our presenter. He is extremely knowledgeable on the subject of grant writing and even provides ideas on a grant writer’s toolkit – the entire arsenal required for an organisation to refer to every time they have the task of applying for grants. With his extensive experience, our presenter provides extensive information on how to plan your submission, from project managing the timelines to review phases to ensure the information submitted is accurate and in line with the scope required.

The resources required for grant writing are vast and in-depth as provided by the presenter, Patrick Ngahu, as he lists technology tools such as relevant apps as well as research institutions that could help in making your grant writing easier. This Masterclass is a gem and should be referred to and shared by all.

Why grant writing? After the Covid pandemic, funding has become less available and thus appealing to donors requires a more concerted effort. You have to be very clear on why you and your organisation should be the recipient of the available grants – in order to enhance your visibility, make your proposal stand out and be in the best position to receive the grants you want to apply for, click here to learn more.
