Grant Writing
Grant writing is the process of preparing and submitting a formal proposal to secure funding from government agencies, foundations, corporations, or other grant-making organizations. It involves researching funding opportunities, crafting compelling narratives, detailing budgets, and aligning project goals with funder priorities to obtain financial support for projects, programs, or research.
Developers should learn grant writing when working in non-profits, academic research, startups, or social impact projects that require external funding to sustain or scale initiatives. It is crucial for securing resources for technology development, community programs, or innovative solutions where traditional revenue streams are insufficient, enabling long-term project viability and impact.
