Author(s): Brittany Lutes , Monica Pagtalunan , Larry Fretz

Use this phase to write a competitive grant application that will make the grantor want to give your tribal nation the funds. This phase includes the following sections:

  • Sketch your grant application with input from all required participants.
  • Critique the grant application by considering the impact of internal and external forces (by conducting a SWOT analysis).
  • Solicit feedback on your application from internal and external reviewers.
  • Check your grant writing against the do's and don'ts in Info-Tech's Grant Writing Checklist.

Write a grant application that is clear, understandable, and engages the reviewing body or panel so that they will want to award your organization the funding.
