My first step when I got into the office, after getting my stuff put away, was to organize what grants we already have in the mix, what we plan on going for soon, and potential grant ideas/opportunities. I made folders for each one, and it sits out on my desk so I can easily access it. I’m constantly in and out of these folders, whether adding more information into them, adding potential grant resources, or double-checking due dates and other important information.
I keep one folder specifically for general grant information (grant ideas, mostly) and another for our demographics (both the library and the city we live in). I’m going to be using these folders the most and will constantly be keeping them updated.
