Part 2: Grant Readiness: Writing a Strong Project & Budget Narrative

This episode will address how to craft a persuasive project narrative and aligning your budget to your proposal so your organization is grant-ready. Your project narrative isn’t just paperwork. It's your opportunity to show reviewers that your vision is strategic, your goals are measurable, and your plan is realistic.

This episode covers key strategies to make your narrative stand out. We also address the budget narrative and making sure your budget includes expenses that are allowable, reasonable, necessary, and allocable (ARNA).
