We enjoy reading and awarding well-written, richly conceived grant proposals. Here are some ideas that may improve your grant application.

Grant Writing Workshops

LCCC members host FREE, in-person workshops in the weeks leading up to each grant cycle deadline, including in-person workshops at multiple locations across Lane County. Follow us on social media for future updates, or join our mailing list to receive a notice in your inbox.

Grant Writing Resources

You may want to look into other grant writing resources. A to Z Grantwriting or GrantsMagic U have a few short video tutorials.

Some examples from previously successful applications are available to view upon request. If you would like to view a sample, contact laneculture@lanearts.org.

Partnerships

Any proposal is made stronger through collaboration with able partners.  Addressing arts education?  Contact your local schools to learn about their needs and interests.  A letter of support from a teacher or superintendent will show that you’ve done your homework.  Holding your writing workshop in a bookstore?  Mention their partnership in the proposal, and include the use of their space as an in-kind value in your budget.

Accessibility Reimbursement

Any proposal jumps out that considers accessibility to attendees who identify themselves as alter-abled.  With the Oregon Arts Commission reimbursement grants, accessibility efforts have never been easier and more affordable. They provide advice to organizations, online resources, and reimbursement grants for accessibility projects.  Contracting an American Sign Language interpreter, for example, whose fee is paid by the Oregon Arts Commission, shows partnership, provides accessibility, and all for a zero net expense.
