GRANT WRITING 2
Introduction
Case 1
Dyslexia affects the quality of learning; children with this condition have a hard time learning sounds within a language which thus makes it difficult to learn. Bridging the gap between child achievement and their ability would be an expensive venture due to the nature of the project (Blanco, Maria, and Mary 2012). Various stakeholders need to be engaged for the success of the project. The project will involve the development of a platform suitable for the student’s study. The project stakeholders will include the teachers; the teachers ought to be well equipped through training with special skills on how to handle the children (Koppelman, and John Holloway 2012). The project will entail the creation of special facilities within the school to be equipped for the training which will also be expensive. Sourcing for the funding would be done through grant providers. The challenge is the complex procedures which need to be followed to acquire the grants. The grants are also not guaranteed (Gitlin, Laura and Kevin 2013).
Case 2
The financiers are mainly guided by organizations policy when undertaking. The main objectives for grant providers organizations are ensuring quality health care and equality for all in society. The project undertaken in this case is to bridge the gap between the children who have Dyslexia and the rest of the children (Davidson and Nicholas 2012). The grant providers have a set of policies which guides how the grant is granted and the parties which qualify for grants (Siemens and Lynne 2012). Through sufficient funding, the quality of education offered to children suffering can be improved (Wason and Sara 2011). The quality can be improved through researches on the special teaching procedure which can be used to improve the learning of these kids. Funding for medical researches on ways of treating the condition is also a strategic approach towards developing the quality of learning for children suffering from the condition (Browning and Beverly 2014).
Case 3
The review, in this case, is the grant providers within New York City. The grants providers listed include; Foundation Center Northeast (New York office), Elizabeth Public Library, Brooklyn Public Library, and The Commonwealth Fund these grant providers have a philanthropic obligation of improving the active status of the beneficiaries (Hofmann and Angelika 2014).
Case 4
The grant provider considered for this case is the Commonwealth Fund. The Commonwealth Fund has its headquarters located in New York City. The fund’s mission is to promote health services for the society most vulnerable groups without any discrimination (Karsh, Ellen, and Fox 2014). The foundation has a platform of providing grants to individuals in the form of scholarships, student loans, funding research on healthcare (Yuen, Francis, Terao, and Schmidt 2009).
The organization also funds projects aimed at developing health care (Wiseman, Jason Alavi, and Milner 2013). The current project of improving the quality of education among the children seeks to promote equality and fairness among the children on health matters and thus qualifies for funding from the organization. Other grant providers who might provide grants for the project include;

New Hampshire Charitable Foundation seems like the best opportunity for securing grants. The firm’s deadline for grant application is set around in August. More time before the deadline will enable proper formulation of grant proposals which will increase the chances for securing the funding (Hippel, Ted, and Hippel 2015).
