Need Assistance in Writing Grants?

Grant writing can be tricky, but if you have a passion for what you are writing about, and good Englich skills [sic] then it may not be as difficult as you think! Some grants are quick and easy - others take time. But a few hours well spent can truly pay off, and all the participants in your group can thank you for that!


Tips To Consider When Applying For Grants
  • First, make sure you have visited Non-Profit Guides on the web at www.npguides.org/guide/index.html
  • Make sure that the grant for which you are applying is relevant to the cause that you will be spending the money on. List of recommended foundations
  • Make sure you have exhausted potential assistance from participants within your group - that is to say, perhaps there is an expert in this field in your community that can assist with this process.
  • Feel free to cut and paste any information from our Berkshire Outdoor Center website - (Limited specifically for grant writing for our programs only!)
  • Contact us for any extra information you need, such as statistical information regarding our programs and operations.
