When approaching the challenge of applying for grant funding, it can be difficult to know where to begin—especially with the nuanced demands of managing the grants process and ever-growing workloads. The difficulty isn’t just finding grants, it’s the process itself.
Because the grant application process can be competitive and usually involves complex requirements, it’s extremely important to create a high-quality application to be considered. Therefore, in order to put their best foot forward, public sector teams must factor in strategic planning, budget development, evidence of both need and impact, and reporting requirements in addition to the specificity involved with grant writing and revision.

Why should your team use PFAs?
Leverage the power of past success with these key points on utilizing Euna Grants’ Previously Funded Application (PFA) Library during the grant application process:
- Understanding Successful Strategies: PFAs provide valuable insight into what works by showcasing successful strategies, approaches, and formats that have received approval from grant reviewers. Identify the common elements that contribute to successful applications, such as clear goals, measurable outcomes, and realistic budgets.
- Adherence to Grant Requirements: Grant applications often come with specific guidelines and requirements that applicants must follow. Euna Grants’ PFA library can serve as a guide to ensure compliance with these requirements while demonstrating how to structure narratives, provide necessary documentation, and address evaluation criteria effectively.
- Efficiency in Preparation: Using a PFA as a template helps to organize information, prompt considerations of key aspects, and reduce the chances of missing critical components of the application. Starting from scratch can be time-consuming and may lead to overlooking important details.
- Improving Competitiveness: Grant funding is competitive, with many applicants vying for limited resources. Drawing insights from successful applications increases the competitiveness of your proposal.
- Building Confidence: Using templates of previously funded applications can boost confidence in the application process. It provides a tangible example of success, demonstrating that securing grant funding is achievable with careful planning, adherence to guidelines, and a compelling narrative.
