Grant Proposal Skill
Overview
Generate the grant proposal workflow and grant-specific funding narrative. Use this skill when the business case must be framed around beneficiaries, outcomes, accountability, and post-grant sustainability rather than lender repayment or investor returns.
Use When
- Use when preparing a grant application, concept note, or donor-facing funding request.
- Use when the reader's primary concern is impact, beneficiary value, compliance, and accountability.
- Use when a business or social enterprise needs Theory of Change, LogFrame, impact logic, or budget narrative support.
Do Not Use When
- Do not use for standard bank-loan or investor-funding narratives unless there is a genuine grant component.
- Do not treat a grant proposal as a softened business plan with impact language added on top.
- Do not invent beneficiaries, outcomes, or monitoring capability that the organisation cannot substantiate.
