🐸 Top Tips for Writing Successful SAVE THE FROGS! Grant Proposals

1. Be Clear, Concise, and Complete
• Make your proposal easy to read and review quickly.
• Answer all key questions: who, what, where, when, why, how, and how much it will cost.

2. Focus on Amphibian Conservation
• Proposals must directly benefit amphibians.
• Eligible projects include education, habitat restoration, research with clear conservation outcomes, art, and travel to amphibian-focused events.
• Avoid harmful or disallowed methods like amphibian trade, captive breeding, toe clipping, or pit tagging.

3. Write a Powerful Executive Summary
• May be the only part reviewers read closely—make it compelling.
• Include your organization’s name, the amount requested, project location, dates, activities, and who’s involved.

4. Keep It Simple (Especially for Small Grants)
• Simple projects are easier to communicate, implement, and fund.
• If proposing a complex project, ensure it’s well-organized, realistic, and clearly explained.

5. Craft a Strong, Justified Budget
• Use spreadsheets with itemized costs (item, quantity, cost per unit, total).
• Include screenshots or research to support pricing (e.g., airfare, hotel, printing).
• Ask for less than the maximum if possible and justify all expenses thoroughly.

6. Track and Report Your Spending
• Use tools like Excel or Airtable to record date, vendor, item, cost, and receipts.
• Submit a final report (including a web page) to remain in good standing and be eligible for future grants.

7. Avoid Common Mistakes
• No math errors, vague language, or inflated/unjustified costs.
• Don’t propose items SAVE THE FROGS! doesn’t fund.
• Follow all posted guidelines and deadlines carefully.

8. Submit Early & Build Relationships
• Apply early, not at the last minute.
• Demonstrate reliability and results to become a recurring grantee.

9. Showcase Your Team & Partnerships
• Name all team members, organizations, and schools involved.
• Include letters of support to establish trust and commitment.

10. Develop Your Grant Writing Skills
• Learn from rejections.
• Apply to multiple funders and build your track record.
• Share your successes online to attract future support.
