The Art of Tension in Grant Proposals

✨ Writing Prompt

Imagine you are writing a grant proposal for a non-profit organization seeking funding for a community project aimed at reducing homelessness. Begin your proposal with a compelling narrative that highlights the urgency of the issue. Use statistics and personal stories to build tension and evoke an emotional response from the reader. Consider the elements of tension: what is at stake if funding is not received? Who will be affected? What change can your project bring about? Create a compelling argument that not only outlines the problem but also casts your organization as the only viable solution. Aim for a strong opening that grabs attention and a conclusion that reinforces the need for immediate action.
