<h3>Sign up for Fast Track to Grant Writer: <a href= "http://www.teresahuff.com/vip">www.teresahuff.com/vip</a></h3> <h3>Do I Need a Lot of Detail in a Grant Application? </h3> Today I want to share a great question I received recently from a new grant writer: <p><em>How do you know what is sufficient detail in a grant application? There could always be more to write about your program.</em></p> <p>Glad you asked! In this episode I'll talk through three things you need to consider when adding detail to your grant application:</p> <ol> <li>Is there a limit in the application (word count, character count, page limit)? If so, you're forced to <strong><a href= "https://teresahuff.com/write-tight/">write tight</a></strong>!</li> <li>Focus on the application guidelines and the goal of what you're asking for.</li> <li>Remember there's a person at the other end of everything you write. Make it <strong>clear</strong>, <strong>concise</strong>, and <strong>compelling</strong>.</li> </ol> <h4><em>What questions do YOU have about grant writing?
