Creative Thinking = Good Grant Writing

Read through the board of trustees. Does a person in your organization or perhaps a supporter know someone on the board? Think widely here; use your social-media networks, contacts and people you’ve helped out in the past. You’d be surprised who went to school with whom or who dated whom way back when. Check out where the foundation is based. Is anyone in your network — personal or professional — from the same town? A connection can ease the process of getting your proposal reviewed and is worth looking into.
