How can a writer be sure they are asking the right agency for funding when writing a grant proposal?
A) Arrange a personal meeting
B) Send a draft of the proposal with details to follow
C) Conduct an Internet search
D) Send a cover letter asking relevant questions about the audience
E) Analyze the application in advance
Answer: A
Explanation: A) The meeting has two goals: (1) to communicate your passion for the project, and (2) to ask the granting agency if it will accept a proposal from you for the specific amount of money that you are requesting. This ensures that you send the proposal to an appropriate agency and do not waste your time.
