Episode Description from the Publisher

There's a big difference between writing grant applications and writing grants that win – and it starts long before you put a single word on the page.  In this episode, we're joined by Daniella Sorrentino, grant writer at The Fundraising Lab, who demystifies the grant writing process from start to finish. Whether you're brand new to grants or have been writing them for years, Daniella shares what organizations need to have in place before any writing starts, the most common mistakes that derail applications, and why losing a grant is always an opportunity to learn and improve.   We cover:  <li class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW56778791 BCX2" style= "display: block; margin-left: 24px; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, 'Aptos_MSFontService', sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; direction: ltr;" role="listitem" aria-setsize="-1" data-leveltext="" data-font= "Symbol" data-listid="4" data-list-defn-props= "{"335552541":1,"335559683":0,"335559684":-2,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],
