🌟 It may seem obvious, but a critical reminder: Always follow the directions when seeking external funding! Whether you're applying for competitive grants, or funding through private foundations or public agencies, the importance of adhering strictly to submission instructions cannot be overstated. 📝 Unfortunately, many schools, agencies and community organizations miss out on essential funding opportunities that would otherwise amplify their mission and goals forward, due to technical errors or failing to comply exactly with the funders' guidelines or submission instructions. It is at this point where the lessons taught by high school teachers and college professors, who may have seemed harsh or seemingly too detail oriented at the time, have become incredibly valuable. Remember, securing funding or grants is often about getting the details right—just as our teachers and professors emphasized. IT's crucial to apply those early lessons rigorously to advance our missions and make a positive impact! 🚀 #Funding #Grants #NonprofitManagement #FollowTheInstructions
