Every grant maker wants to know who you, first and foremost. First impressions matter, and the organizational information section of your grant application is where you make this impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First and foremost, FOLLOW DIRECTIONS!\u00a0 The grant maker will tell you in the NOFO how long they want the organizational information section to be.\u00a0 Give them what they ask for.\u00a0 It\u2019s a good idea to have a boilerplate organizational information section ready, but always be prepared to make changes tailored to the grant and to the grant maker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tell the story of your organization that shows your origins and how you grew over time.\u00a0 What population do you serve?\u00a0 If it is a municipality or other governmental agency, what are the demographics of your geographical region?\u00a0 What are your industries, and how does your locality have regional, statewide, national, or even worldwide connectivity?\u00a0 What are your values, and how does your organization uphold these values through actions, programs, and projects?\u00a0 What has your organization already accomplished?\u00a0 What other individuals, entities, and organizations of note has your organization partnered with?\u00a0 Have you won any awards or garnered recognition?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
