Creative Thinking = Good Grant Writing

For example, if your soup kitchen feeds all demographics but the foundation focuses mostly on the elderly, emphasize what you do for the elderly. Describe the meals that are delivered to those elderly clients who are homebound. Provide numbers and results, the community you build, and how you care for those who have no others to rely on. Gauge reactions, and ask if you can submit a request for funding. In addition, try to get a suggested request amount or percentage of the budget so you have an idea of what to ask for.
