Kittie – Oracle $15.66 Kittie: Morgan Lander (vocals, guitar, piano); Talenea Atfield (bass); Mercedes Lander (drums).Recorded at Emac Studios, London, Ontario.Personnel: Morgan Lander (vocals, guitar, piano); Mercedes Lander (drums).Audio Mixers: Dean Maher; Randy Staub .Recording information: EMAC Studios, London, Ont.Photographers: Michael Richardson (Dr.); Yvette Conley.Unknown Contributor Role: Mathew Somers (Dr.).An all-female rock band succeeding on a commercial level in the male-dominated heavy metal world is an anomaly. The Canadian hard rock trio Kittie (previously a quartet) has nevertheless managed to prosper under those circumstances. ORACLE is the logical successor to the band`s 1999 debut, SPIT. Although there is no drastic stylistic shift evidenced on the sophomore effort, the album is nevertheless another worthy excursion into the death metal world. ORACLE offers more convincing classic metal riffs coupled with Morgan Lander`s anguished, scowling voice. Standout tracks like "What I Always Wanted" and "Mouthful of Poison" juxtapose snarling, shout-speak rants with melodic, near-angelic backing vocals in a haunting way. For the most part, though, the tunes race by in a thrashing frenzy. The one exception, the dark ballad "Safe," proves that Kittie can slow the tempo down if it chooses. As a whole, ORACLE is a metalhead`s delight. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.

Grant funding sources like Foundations, Corporations, Government Agencies and even Individual donors prefer projects that are:

1. Original,
2. Solutions to Problems,
3. Timely,
4. Compelling,
5. High Impact,
6. Sustainable,
7. Replicable, or
8. Green.

To increase your chances of getting funding, make sure your proposal touches on one or more of these proven ways to attract funders. In this article, you will learn how to make your proposal more attractive to funders by providing solutions to problems.

Have you ever noticed that certain problems always seem to be with us, like hunger, poverty, violence, pollution, injustice, suppression of human rights, discrimination, crime? These are issues that tug on the very fabric of society and our communities. They test our resolve. They often include conflicts among the interests of community members, as well as clashes of values. They lie beyond the control of any one individual.

Funders’ missions frequently address the larger social problems that are not being addressed by individuals or other means, such as capitalism. If someone could figure out how to profit by ending big problems like pollution or poverty, then for-profit business could step in. Then, there would be less need for charitable organizations to address the unmet needs.

Grant writers are noteworthy social artists who use creative ingenuity and technical craftsmanship to paint, sculpt and dance the world’s problems in search of creative solutions. Technically, successful grant writers learn to use various writing templates to illustrate the problems they wish to solve, as well as methodology for solving them.

To increase your chances of being funded, include these 3 basic problem-solving components in your grant proposal:

• Your Problem Statement – Your problem statement is the most critical part of your proposal. Since most funders are interested in funding programs in specific states or geographic areas, you need to take the problem that exists in your community and relate it to similar situations that exist in other communities. This shows the broader implications of your problem. You can do this by using statistical evidence from a national, state and local level, as well as statements from authorities in your area.
• Your Solution & Method – To solve any problem, you need a method or tool. Once you have described a problem adequately, the next step is to spell out how you will solve the problem. The way you show how is by listing the activities, procedures, tasks or strategies you propose. The basic requirements of your method are clarity and justification. Delineate and describe as clearly as possible the tasks you plan to do. Include a justification of why your tasks are necessary and why others – that could be used – are not.
• Your Evaluation – It’s not enough to state that there is a problem and a solution. You have to show how you plan to measure your progress and success in helping solve the problem. In other words, you are asked upfront to show how you will be accountable once you spend the grant money. To do this, include the activities you will do, staff you will hire, deadlines for completing your activities. You will be asked to use acceptable and reliable measurements – like test scores – to show improvement.

sample academic grant proposal

Here is a key difference between novice and experienced grant writers:

-The novice grant writer determines the length of each section of narrative by how much he or she has to say.

-The experienced grant writer determines the length of each section by the number of points it is worth in the grant competition.

Effective grant writing keeps the page length of each section in proportion with its maximum point value and the overall page limit. This means if a section of your grant proposal is worth 25% of the maximum points possible, you would use 25% of the space allowed to write it. If another section of your grant proposal is worth only 10% of the maximum points, you would fit it into 10% of the total page limitation.

Rejected proposals are not usually written to scale this way, meaning the writer does not use space in proportion to the scoring rubric. For example, a novice grant writer might use too much space in the first section or two — then make each of the following sections increasingly shorter. I have actually seen grant proposals where the writer used 75% of the space allowed to score 25% of the points. And guess what? Their proposal scored very poorly on the sections that were too short — which accounted for the other 75% of the points!

Let me share my secret for avoiding this mistake, and for writing a grant proposal to scale. By using the system I am about to share, you will ensure that the page length of each section proportionate to the percentage of points awarded for that section.

The “scoring criteria,” “selection criteria” or questions to be answered in your grant narrative are usually divided into sections (ie. needs statement, project design, evaluation plan). Each section is assigned a maximum point value. Most RFPs also state an overall page limit for your grant narrative.

To maximize your use of space with regard to scoring points:

1. Determine the percentage of the total points awarded for each section.

2. Multiply this number by the number of pages allowed.

3. Your answer will determine the optimal page length for each section, making the length of each section proportionate to its point value.

For example:

Let’s say that a section of the proposal entitled “Need for the Project” is worth 20 points out of 100 points possible for the entire proposal.

This means the “Need for the Project” section is worth 20% (20 out of 100) of the total points you can earn.

Now let’s say the page limit for your entire grant narrative is 30 pages.

In this case, you would multiply the percentage of the total points the “Need for Project” section is worth by the maximum number of pages allowed: .20 x 30 total pages = 6 pages

Using this system, you would write a six-page “Need for the Project” section.

Remember that, in some cases, the sections of a grant proposal are scored independently. Keep the length of each section in direct proportion to the percentage of points it is worth. This makes for balanced grant writing, tells the reader you understand the value of each section, and increases your chance to score all of the points.

Now I would like to invite you to receive more practical, credible grant writing tips that will help you turn words into money for your organization.
