- Another important item to remember about grants
is that most granting organizations
are looking for novel concepts.
A terrific example of a novel concept
is the site you're visiting now.
Navigating music careers has taken
a different approach to providing information
to students or any interested party.
Anyone who comes to this site
and clicks on these videos can get the same information.
You're getting personal information,
from people who do the work that you're investigating.
I'm a grant writer, I write proposals and do fundraising,
and I'm happy to talk to you about this.
And in a way we're getting to have a personal chat about it.
This grant was funded, it's very successful,
and I believe that it could get future funding,
and expand if it needed to do so
based on the reporting process that
they'll be able to give information back to their grantee.
So more importantly to remember at this point,
novel approaches, new ways to do old things,
is really something, something to consider
when you're thinking of your projects
to apply to grants for.
