Getting your money's worth: Negotiating with research agencies
When seeking grants from a funding agency, the grantwriter must first
engage in some pre-proposal research. This stage includes communicating
with the agency to make sure a project fits the funder's
mission and that it meets eligibility requirements and other guidelines.
A telephone contact or face-to-face contact may be appropriate. When
writing the formal proposal, the grantwriter should indicate budget,
methods of evaluation and dissemination, and follow other recommended
techniques for effective proposal writing. After the proposal
is written, it will be reviewed by the funding agency staff, and the
grantwriter will have to answer any questions raised by the agency.published or submitted for publicatio
Nonprofit and Philanthropic Studies Education
âWe need to reject the naĂŻve imposition of the âlanguage of businessâ on the social sectors, and instead jointly embrace a language of greatness.â (Collins, 2005, p. 2). This quote from Jim Collins, author of Good to Great, recognizes that the push by many for nonprofits to become more business like is wrong headed. Instead, the critical difference is what makes a nonprofit great--or for that matter, a business great. In
contrast to a business which uses financial returns as a measure of performance,
nonprofits assess success relative to mission, and further, relative to the resources that
they have to apply toward accomplishment of mission
