Grant writing is the practice of completing an application process for a financial grant, which are often provided by governments, corporations, foundations, and trusts.[1] The skill of grant writing is known as grantsmanship.[2]
Grants are often written for charitable causes, research, and artistic projects.[3]
The grant writing process involves not only creating a coherent proposal but also analysing the needs of the grant maker. Such an analysis is necessary, as the grant maker and recipient may not have completely similar interests, and the writer should position the proposal to highlight aspects that fulfil the funder's needs.[4][5] Grantsmanship analysis may involve conducting research on the organisation and corresponding with relevant staff.[6]
Although grant writing has traditionally been carried out by the person or organisation seeking to carry out the grant's objectives if funded, third-party grant writers may also be employed.[7] A growing number of professional and academic courses have developed on grant writing.[7][8]
