Jim Brown Throwback White Jersey -

Grant Reviewers:?What have you found to be the most offensive mistake one can make in writing/submitting a grant?

That was the question I posed as an informal survey on LinkedIn's Chronicle of Philanthropy group.?Responses came from a former federal funding officer, a foundation program officer, a research methodologist (whose language was slightly above my pay grade), program evaluators, grant management consultants and experienced grant writers.?As a long-time Jim Brown Throwback White Jersey grant writer myself, I expected certain responses such as "make sure the budget fits the narrative" and "proofread!" but what I didn't expect was the?variety?of responses I received.?Here's a sampling straight from those in the know:

"Paint a clear picture to the reviewer what the program year ahead will look like.?A particularly big faux pas is when the information provided conflicts with text provided elsewhere in Jim Brown Throwback White Jersey the proposal ? such as saying Jim Brown Throwback White Jersey that a project is year-round then only budgeting staff for 9 months."

I love this one:?"It raises my suspicion when a well-established, comparatively wealthy organization with a grant writing infrastructure would focus on the slickness of the packaging and handsome ancillary materials (whether relevant or not) rather than the content of the program and/or the proposal.?Grants officers usually see through those disguises, particularly when competing proposals show evidence of solid homework, preparation and yes, need."?See??There IS a level playing field, little guys!
