All experienced grant-seekers know that in-depth research on potential sponsors of their work is essential to successful proposal development.

Doing this in-depth research Doing your Homework means making sure that potential sponsors are interested in supporting investing in the activities you propose.

It also helps you to target your proposals to avoid submitting proposals to sponsors whose mission and funding objectives do not match the mission, programs and activities of your organization. And when you do find a good match, doing your homework helps you to tailor your proposal to the potential sponsor¡¦s very specific requirements and interests.

The following statement from the Executive Director of Rural Integrated Relief Service-Ghana shows how important doing your homework is:

We get dozens of proposals from organizations that clearly never did a lick of homework, and waste our time and the precious funds of their members sending out hopeless proposals to the wrong funders.
Our grant making Directory part (1) can help you locate funding for your projects.
