December Grant Writing Tip: Success is in the Details
Make sure the details are accurate! Did you indicate your organization’s
legal name and address? Are you absolutely sure you have entered the correct Federal
Tax Identification number? Did you include an email address that is a) accurate;
and b) actually in use, so we can contact you if needed? Are you ABSOLUTELY SURE
your application will arrive at the IAC office by the deadline date and time?
These are small details that can make or break an application.
