How to Choose the Right Grant Application Requirements (AccessWire)

As you build your program requirements, your aim should be to reduce grantee burden-the workload that your funding creates for the organizations and individuals ...

When it comes to learning about the broader social context of your grantees' work, you can do a lot of that research on your own. If that document includes all the information you need, don't make an applicant reformat it to submit it to you. They don't want to hear that they'll be getting a check and then have to wait months for it to arrive. You don't want to review applicants that don't qualify for your grants. [Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT™)](https://pr.report/laZTYSx2) to ensure the software you choose meets accessibility standards (psst… It's incredibly frustrating to sit down to fill out an application and realize you don't have all the information you need. Before you publish your application, try to imagine you're reading it for the first time. The last thing you want is for your application requirements to become a barrier. For instance, if you ask organizations to upload documents, don't ask them to also input that information into a separate form field. Rather than viewing the application as your chance to vet potential grantees, think about it as an opportunity to check if your missions align. For grantmakers looking to advance equity and support innovation, being intentional about how you build your grant application is where the rubber meets the road. If, in exchange for funding, you're pulling a significant amount of the team's time and energy away from that work, you're undercutting their ability to stay focused on their mission.

Pretoria - A Limpopo community activist has single-handedly managed to get the Department of Home Affairs to do the right thing, after officials declared a ...

“I am convinced that Home Affairs has to account for the error, or corruption, that took place. First of all, there was no need for the family to be dragged from pillar to post to receive a grant that is legitimately theirs. “That little effort prompted Home Affairs to do the right thing. This is only the beginning,” Dibakwane said. “At the beginning of this month, we contacted Kopano Dibakwane, a well-known activist who used to live near Sabie. Mona said her brother was stabbed in the head in Boksburg, Gauteng, when he was 29 years old.

That’s why we’re funding community projects to help people access the supplies they need.”
