Grant Writing Tips:
Remember there is a committee on campus to help you with your grant writing. From the email announcing the service:
If you are working on a service-learning grant and would like assistance with the editing process, we would be willing to help. We can look for superficial errors and more significant issues. For example: Is the project clearly explained? Has the writer followed the grant submission requirements to the letter?
Even the best writers need active, critical readers to help them polish their work. We would be happy to play that role for you. Simply send the grant requirements and the grant draft to one of the committee members listed below.
Because, like you, we’re all exceptionally busy, it would be best were you to give us at least two weeks to complete our work on any drafts submitted. If you run up against a deadline, we’ll try to help you more quickly, but we can’t make any guarantees.
The Civic Engagement Grant Committee members are:
Katie Anderson, kanderso@ivytech.edu
Annie Gray, agray@ivytech.edu
Elizabeth Starr, estarr@ivytech.edu
