Grant writing is a focused and persuasive process that involves researching funding opportunities, preparing detailed proposals, and submitting them to government agencies, foundations, or corporations. Its purpose is to align an organization’s mission with a funder’s priorities in order to secure non-repayable funds for projects, operations, or research initiatives.

​

Grant funding is a sum of money awarded by governments, foundations, or corporations to individuals, non-profits, or businesses to support specific projects, research, or public services. Unlike loans, grants are generally non-repayable, provided the funds are used as agreed upon in the application.
