Welcome

Persuasive Writing

You're dedicated to meeting a need. You have an effective program and the capacity to deliver results. What you need is financial support. Fortunately, funders who share your goals are eager to support your work.

But no matter how worthy your program is, on the grant reviewer's desk buried in a pile with all the others, it's the quality of your proposal that counts. If the funding rationale is not clear and convincing, if the presentation is not polished or if any of the proposal guidelines are not met, the reviewer will move on quickly. Getting to the top of the pile requires a proposal that stands out from the rest.

An exceptional piece of persuasive writing presents a compelling case for your program that turns the reader into an advocate. Where a reviewer looks for fat in your budget, an advocate looks for ways to beef up your program!

If you're better at designing and running effective programs than you are at getting them funded, New England Grant Works can provide you with proposal writing, grant research and related services to connect your program with funding.
