What do you do when you don’t win the grant?! 🧐 Not everybody wins them all! Seriously. But, boy oh boy, it sure stings when the grant is rejected, especially when the resources are so desperately needed. So, how do we handle not winning the grant award? 🤷 1️⃣ Understand That It’s Okay To Be Emotional Afterward, know that rejection is not the end of the story. Also, it’s not personal. Grant reviewers look at dozens and sometimes hundreds of applications! Learn more about the 7-steps to writing winning grants in this free grant writing class: https://www.learngrantwriting.org/free-grant-writing-course 2️⃣ Thank The Grant Funder 🙂 Maintain a positive relationship because you never know what might happen in the future! 3️⃣ Ask For Feedback 🗒️ 4️⃣ Look For Ways That You Can Improve Circle back and review if there are ways you can strengthen some of the weak areas. 💪 This is also a great time to circle back to your funding strategy and consider other funders. Check out this video for how to develop a funding strategy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qgvUVi5rl4 ✨ Most importantly: never give up. Rejection can be your best teacher – truly!
