How to become a great grant reviewer |
Reviewing grants is hard work. And reviewing them well is even harder. This blog post covers 13 steps to reviewing grants, from determining if the grant applicant is eligible, to scoring the grant correctly, to finding the right tone for your comments. |

Creating an effective grant application form |
Writing up grant applications forms is a balancing act between collecting enough information to pick the right grantees and collecting too much information so that both applicants and reviewers are overwhelmed. This comprehensive post covers exactly what you should ask as well as dozens of tips to whip up the best possible form.
This post also includes a free downloadable grant form template. |

What We’re ReadingA book all about Art & Fear.
A pottery class is divided in half. One half of the class is told that they’ll be graded on the very best pot that they make during the semester. The other half of the class is told they’ll be graded solely on the sheer volume of pots they create. Guess which half of the class gets better at pottery?
In Art & Fear, authors (and artists) David Bayles and Ted Orland fill a slim, highly-readable volume with everything you need to know about getting over your fear of creating, from being anxious about being judged by others to realizing you are afraid of what you might learn about yourself. Filled with insights from artists and philosophers as well as super practical advice, this is a reference book that every creator should keep on their shelf and return to often.
And yep, the class graded on making more pots got way better at pottery. Why? Because they weren’t worried about making the best pot, they were only focused on the process of pottery making.
