Often, just being in a creative environment will inspire you and refresh your creative mind. Start somewhere. If you create a load of crap for a few pages, whether it’s creative writing in Word or sheet music, the brain loosens up and it’s easier to break through the barrier and come up with ideas. Expose yourself. Not after too much. We appreciate your support of the movement and our ongoing fight to end State-sanctioned violence, liberate Black people, and end white supremacy forever.

Spice up your grant proposals with these creative ideas.

1. Get out of your office and participate in the project/program for which you are writing a grant proposal. You will have more information to draw from if you experience the project/program first hand.
2. Start the grant proposal with a client’s story or a startling statistic that leads into a story. Your nonprofit is doing fantastic work. You are helping people or animals or the environment. You and your nonprofit are making a difference. Share how someone’s life is better because of your nonprofit.
3. Weave in the story of the people, place, and mission throughout your whole proposal including the budget.
4. Include a quote from someone your nonprofit serves – If it is a written proposal, use a text box.
5. If you can format the proposal, use titles, italics, boldface, tables, pictures with captions and/or graphics, and fonts that are easy to read.
6. Leave some white space – even on an online application. Think about how an online application will look printed out.
7. Look at the readability statistics on Word or Grammarly – aim for a 9th-10th-grade reading level, 0% passive sentences, and more than 60% reading ease. You can make it a game to see if you can get all your proposals to those levels.
