Trophy

THE WINNING GRANT PROPOSAL COMPETITION

2023 WINNERS

Brought to you by:

GrantStation and The Grant Professionals Association

Our thanks and appreciation go to the     
entrants, judges, and volunteer screeners!

This summer GrantStation ran its biennual Winning Grant Proposal Competition. With over 185 fabulous entries, the judges narrowed it down to three, and from that small pool picked our winner—Soccer Without Borders. Who penned this award-winning proposal? Soccer Without Borders’ Co-Founder, Mary Connor.

You can watch our webinar What Makes a Proposal a Winner. Our host, Alice Ruhnke, President of GrantStation, and two of the judges engage in a lively discussion about why this particular proposal was selected as the winner. Specifics about the proposal, as well as the time and effort that Mary put into it, will be discussed. Learn what made this proposal stand out from the rest of the very well-written entries.
