Is Your Dream Team Missing Something?  A Project Manager!

Is Your Dream Team Missing Something?  A Project Manager!

Grant writing is in essence assembling a swarm of moving parts into one cohesive, digestible package.  Finding grants that are a good match, research, soliciting letters of support, identifying partners and their information, gathering all of the information about the project from the individual point people who can answer these questions and coordinating communication and milestones amongst the team are all components.  Did you catch the missing part?  The actual WRITING of the grant.

Grant writing is so much more than the actual writing of the grant.  That’s why every effective grant writing team needs a project manager to delegate tasks, implement deadlines, and manage communication.  Project managers plan and oversee the grant writing process to ensure all grants are complete on time.  This streamlines the process, allowing the rest of the team to find, research, and apply for grants.  Consequently, with a streamlined process your grant writing operation becomes scalable.  You can find and apply for even more grants without the team becoming overwhelmed or burnt out.

Designating a project manager is the first step to developing a grant finding and grant writing process.  Boyd Grants offers coaching to help grant writers, businesses, and organizations build streamlined workflow processes that fit the unique needs of your team.
