What is Grantsmanship?
Grantsmanship refers to the art and science of identifying, applying for, and securing grants. This process requires strategic planning, thorough research, and compelling proposal writing. Grants can come from various sources, including government agencies, private foundations, and corporate sponsors.
Quote: “Grant funding is not just about money—it’s about aligning your vision with an opportunity to make an impact.”
