Grant Writing Help
Funding criteria differs for each agency and organization. As most watershed group budgets are comprised of several grants, it would be beneficial if someone within the group is skilled at, or willing to learn how to, write effective grant applications.
Grants should be well written and clearly state who and what will benefit from the funding. One of the best ways to gain a better understanding of the grant writing process is to read applications for projects that have already been funded. Several of the completed watershed plans located on this site serve as good examples.
