Grants from a funder’s point of view is an investment in positive change. It is a tool they use for having an impact on issues they care about.
Grant writing must be considered from a mission-focused perspective. This is what funders consider before they will make a decision on which nonprofits they will support. Since the point of a grant award is impact rather than money, the real point of a grant proposal is to gather the necessary resources to help the nonprofit fulfill its purpose. It is your mission, vision and purpose that a grant writer will expand along with why your nonprofit is meeting a need.
