Funders want to address real problems in their giving areas, which means your proposal must demonstrate why your program is necessary and important to your community. However, too many proposals present a need that is vague, not supported by data, or misaligned with other sections of a grant application. Any of these issues make it easy for reviewers to overlook your proposal.
During this webinar, Alice Ruhnke will show you how to craft a compelling statement of need that highlights the importance of your project in your community. In this session you’ll learn:
- the fundamentals of developing a need section;
- which data sources can help tell your story;
- the two major components of a need section and how to connect them to each other and the rest of your application;
- best practices in describing your community and target population;
- ways to identify, discuss, and address the root causes of the problems; and,
- how to navigate confusing grant-related terminology.
You’ll leave ready to write a data-driven needs statement that is aligned with your program and the funder’s priorities.
