What does it take to create a successful CBF grant?
That question has had more airtime on Technorama’s Q&A Facebook group than any other topic. It’s a heated debate. Grant applications take time. Not getting the grant is a painful experience. “We didn’t deserve to lose” is often heard.
But maybe your application did deserve to lose. Maybe you didn’t provide the right information. Maybe you didn’t use words that best sell the need, the benefit, and your competency?
Technorama to the rescue!
Just like asking for a job, there are good and bad strategies to any grant application. In this Technorama Tuesday webinar, timed the day after applications open for 2024 Round One, we’ll take you through what makes a good submission, and why some submissions just don’t make the cut.
By the way, it’s a common fallacy that big stations with huge resource win every time over small stations. It’s not about resource, it’s about what you say and how you approach providing the information.
We have some REALLY GOOD TIPS to give you in your quest to help your station benefit from a limited resource.
