Are You Grantable? Understanding the Logic
Navigating all the possible grants available to you can feel like a never-ending journey. There are so many grants to sift through, terminology that feels impossible to understand, and pages of documents to read. Well, what if there was a way to simplify it all? Grant funding doesn’t have to be so complex when you simplify the way you try to make sense of it. Approaching your funding journey in a logical way is crucial for making your grant quest a breeze.
The Logic of Me
Logically understanding yourself is the first, foundational step. In the grant space, you must know what you need, when you need it, and just how much. It’s also important to have a basic understanding of who you are, organizations you represent and more.

Let’s begin with some personal profile basics:
- You need to know your eligibility: schooling, occupation, and district or location for example
- You also need to know your financial needs
- Have a logical understanding of your personal timeline and when you would need the funding
- Understand your purpose for seeking funding
It’s important to have a logical picture of who you are and what you need before you begin trying to make sense of all the content that exists within a grant.
The Logic of Grants
Moving into the logical components of grants, it’s important to understand how grant criteria and content must logically make sense with your personal profile and needs.
Examine these concepts, made available to you within every grant:
- Find out when the funding arrives
- Find the exact financial amount given
- Find out the purpose of the grant
- Find out the eligibility criteria for the grant
Each of these areas are important to have a logical grasp on when digging into grants that are right for you.
How to Match it All Up
This is where the magic happens. Now that you know what your needs are and you know what to look for in a grant, it’s time to simply examine each section of the grant and logically match it up with your needs and profile. Matching up your needs and profile with the grant criteria is the piece of the puzzle that makes funding a breeze. Navigate the grant world by using a seamless, logical approach.
