1 Know your audience

Before you start writing, research your potential grantors and their priorities. What are their goals, values, and criteria? Who are their target populations and stakeholders? How do they communicate and evaluate proposals? Knowing your audience will help you tailor your proposal to their specific interests and expectations. You can also use their language, tone, and format to make your proposal more relevant and persuasive.

2 Define your problem and solution

One of the key elements of a grant proposal is the problem statement, which describes the issue or need that your project or program addresses. You should make this statement clear, concise, and evidence-based. Avoid jargon, acronyms, and technical terms that may confuse or alienate your readers. Instead, use simple and plain language that anyone can understand. Explain why the problem matters, who is affected by it, and how your project or program will solve it. Provide concrete and measurable objectives, outcomes, and impacts that demonstrate the value and feasibility of your solution.

3 Include diverse perspectives

Another way to make your grant proposal accessible is to include diverse perspectives from your community. You can do this by engaging with your partners, collaborators, and beneficiaries throughout the project or program development and implementation. Seek their input, feedback, and support. Acknowledge their contributions, roles, and responsibilities. Highlight their stories, testimonials, and experiences. Show how your project or program will benefit them and address their needs and challenges. By doing this, you will show respect, empathy, and inclusivity to your audience.

4 Use visual aids

Visual aids can help you communicate your message more effectively and attractively. You can use charts, graphs, tables, photos, videos, or infographics to illustrate your data, facts, figures, or concepts. Visual aids can also help you break down complex or lengthy information into digestible and memorable chunks. However, you should use visual aids sparingly and strategically. Make sure they are relevant, accurate, and consistent with your text. Provide captions, labels, and descriptions for your visual aids. Avoid clutter, noise, and distraction that may confuse or overwhelm your readers.

5 Proofread and edit

Finally, you should proofread and edit your grant proposal before you submit it. You should check for spelling, grammar, punctuation, and formatting errors that may undermine your credibility and professionalism. You should also check for clarity, coherence, and consistency in your content, structure, and style. You should avoid repetition, redundancy, and ambiguity that may confuse or bore your readers. You should also seek feedback from others who can offer you a fresh and objective perspective. You can ask them to check for accuracy, completeness, and relevance of your information. You can also ask them to test for readability, comprehensibility, and appeal of your document.

It is important to consider accessibility for all members of the community, including individuals with disabilities when writing a grant proposal. Here are some tips to make your proposal more accessible: - Use clear language, avoiding technical terms that may be difficult to understand. - Use headings and subheadings to make texts easier to read. - Use short sentences and paragraphs, rather long and dense text. - Make sure your document is compatible with screen readers, such as by avoiding images of text and using meaningful alt text for images. - If including videos, make sure they are closed-captioned for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing and provide transcripts for the videos to ensure accessibility for all.
