Grantsmanship
Grantsmanship is the skill involved in preparing and submitting grant proposals to secure funding for projects, research, or programs. It involves understanding the requirements of the funding organization, clearly articulating your project's goals and significance, and demonstrating how the funds will be used effectively. Good grantsmanship requires persuasive writing, thorough planning, and attention to detail to persuade funders that your project aligns with their priorities and warrants support. Essentially, it’s the art and science of effectively communicating your value and needs to obtain financial resources.
