TEM291: Five Mistakes You’re Making with Grant Proposals

Five common mistakes people make when applying for grants and how to avoid them.

On Today's Episode of The Entrepreneurial Musician:

  • What you missed in last week’s Quartet of Idea if you’re not subscribed to the Portfolio Career Playbook

  • Mistake #1 People Make When Applying for a Grant: You are centering it around your needs rather than the needs of the organization you are applying to

  • Mistake #2: You aren’t spending enough time researching the grant and the organization

  • Mistake #3: You are only applying to predictable places

  • Mistake #4: You are copy and pasting too much

  • Mistake #5: You aren’t clearly and concisely articulating who will be changed if your grant is approved

  • A quote from Aretha Franklin on being an inspiration to the younger people in your field
