Master Grant Template
What is a Master Grant Template (and why does your nonprofit need one)?
There are many moving parts to a grant application.
Wouldn't it be nice to have all those pieces in one place?
The Master Grant Template (MGT) is a masterful solution to this dilemma.
A comprehensive outline that provides the basis for every grant application you write, the MGT not only gives you a streamlined system for grant writing, but also answers many questions you may have about putting the application together and what information funders are looking for.
If your nonprofit is on a tight budget, the MGT will enable you to write your own high-quality grant applications, saving you time and money.
However, this template is also magic in the hands of a busy grant writer. It will save you from having to reinvent the wheel with each application and makes the process much easier.
