Word Counts – one of the biggest bid-writing frustrations!
Funders are increasingly requiring application forms that often come with tight word count limits. For fundraisers, this can feel seemingly impossible to summarise all the important things you need to tell them.
Funders want clear and concise applications – ultimately, these are the applications that are more likely to be successful.
Learning how to be concise can help make you a better bid writer. This skill will also benefit your applications that don’t have word counts, as well as any other fundraising communications!
Get Grants Word Counts MASTERCLASS will give you expert advice and top tips to tackle those tricky application forms with greater confidence.
Led by Get Grants Founder and Director John Ellery, this Masterclass, we will teach you a practical approach to bid-writing that will save you time and increase your chance of bid-writing success!
