Closing the Knowledge Gap: Sustaining Your Grants Department
Leveraging expertise within your grants department is a great way to maximize its potential. There is a wealth of untapped knowledge that lies dormant or siloed in individual staff.

Art of Persuasion: Applying the Elaboration Likelihood Model to Grant Writing
Persuasion is defined as human communication that is designed to influence others by modifying their beliefs, values, or attitudes. It is embedded in everyday life. Persuasion is a technique used to increase the likelihood of others receiving a message in the way you intended and causing the desired outcome. Understanding persuasion will allow grantseekers to develop strong messages explaining how their program is effective in solving an issue.
