There are many reasons why grant writers should use inclusive language in grants. Here are a few of the most important: ➡️ Using emotionally-charged, judgemental, or overly positive or negative language to describe groups of people can reinforce harmful stereotypes. ➡️ Inclusive language helps you counter the narratives that contribute to the marginalization and exclusion of certain groups of people. ➡️ This effort also promotes stakeholder engagement and the practice of listening to program participants.
