http://www.lightstalkers.org/writing-a-grant-proposal An entire Lightstalkers thread via RSS/XML. en-us I have never written a grant proposal before, so I'm kinda guestimating my way through. I found this site: http://www.mcf.org/mcf/grant/writing.htm The list the headers for the outline of proposals as the following: - Summary - Organizational Information - Problem/Need/Situation Description - Work Plan/Specific Activities - Impact of Activities - Evaluation - Other Funding - Future Funding - Budget - Supplementary Materials I'm using this as the base for my proposal. Any thoughts? Feelings? Grand nuggets of wisdom?

I would also love to hear from people about what makes a successful grant application and if they could pinpoint what it is that they feel that they have written/photographed that is what gave them the edge. How much do people think that its what you know or a culmination of doing a well publicized body of work? And how many people think it is more of a matter of connections and resumes (ie WPP winners get a lot of grants it seems to me!) Would really love this to be one of those thoroughly informative LS threads of old. Before the whole place got too stupid of course!
