Introduction to Grant Editing: From Draft to Fundable
Webinar Description
Editing grant proposals is essential for ensuring clarity, professionalism, and compliance with funder guidelines. A well-edited proposal communicates ideas clearly, presents information logically, and avoids errors, thereby enhancing its persuasiveness and credibility. Furthermore, editing helps create a compelling and coherent document that effectively demonstrates the project’s value and impact, increasing the likelihood of securing funding.
​
This 90-minute session will provide you with insider tips for transforming an initial draft into a persuasive and winning grant proposal. You’ll discover how to recognize and correct frequent errors that can undermine a proposal’s effectiveness, including pitfalls related to language and alignment with grant requirements. You’ll also learn practical strategies for strengthening the narrative, clarifying objectives and goals, and use of effective visuals. You’ll leave this webinar with the skills and knowledge you need to make your client’s proposal stand out from the rest.
​
This session is useful for all editors and especially those working to secure funding for academics, researchers, government agencies, and community-based organizations.
