Why Many Proposals Get Denied
The primary reasons why many applications to SAVE THE FROGS! do not get funded (aside from the fact that there is a limited supply of funding and many requests are received) include:
– Applications do not make it clear precisely what activities will take place.
– Proposals do not demonstrate how the project would benefit amphibians.
– Budgets are unclear as to precisely how money will be used; and/or proposed expenditures are out of proportion with the perceived benefit of the project.
Budget Advice
Follow these simple rules and your grant success will improve dramatically…
– Reduce your costs
– Don’t ask for unnecessary funds
– Spend an extra 15 minutes on your budget to ensure it is exceptionally clear and without mathematical errors.
