Be honest, writing an application is time consuming and success rates for many are low. A simple cost/benefit analysis is one way of assessing this. For a worked example see Appendix 1.  \n• Does your project fit within your constitution’s area of benefit? Does it meet your Aims and Objectives? Most funders will ask for a copy of your constitution and/or check your Charity Commission page to check the ‘area of benefit’.  \nThe project and your need should be the reason you are applying-not that funding is available, and you are fitting a project to its meet requirements.  \nWhen planning your project think about:  \n• Is your project addressing a clearly defined problem or need? If you are not clear, then it is harder to tell the funder about your project.  \n• Is your project realistic? Are your outcomes (your project’s activities) achievable?  \n• Can you evidence the need for your project? Do you have feedback from users? Have you looked at local statistics that you can use to support your project? Is there an identified need locally that your project will help to address? Make sure you have relevant, recent information and data from a range of sources to support your project.  \nNext steps:  \nTo help you check you have answered these questions, a useful first step is to write a project plan.  \nWhen writing your project plan , you will need to consider and cover:  \n1. Where are we? What is the current situation? Which resources and information do we already have?  \n2. Why? Why do we want to do the project?  \n3. What? What exactly do we want to do? What is the need? What evidence do we have?  \n4. Who? Who is needed to support and plan the project? Who will benefit?  \n5. How? How will we do it? How will we check its success (monitoring)? How will we decide what worked and if we could have done it better (evaluation)?  \n6. What is the timeline? How long will it take? When do we want to start?  \n7. What is the budget? How much will it cost? Where is any additional funding coming from?  \nAnswering these seven questions will help you to organise your thoughts and provide you with a clear, comprehensive ‘project plan’. You can use the plan to help you to research funding opportunities and to complete funding applications.  \nMost funders ask for a project plan either as part of the application process or as supporting information. For example , the National Lottery Heritage Fund provides a template: [https://www.heritagefund.org.uk/publications/project-plan-templates](https://www.heritagefund.org.uk/publications/project-plan-templates)  \n[A summary table of the most common funds that museums/heritage organisations](A summary table of the most common funds that museums/heritage organisations)[ ](A summary table of the most common funds that museums/heritage organisations)[apply to can be found in](ap","cbCaijVKvUz4FSrs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijVKvUz4FSrs","pdf",732974,35,"English","# Contents\n## Section 1: Before writing your grant application\n## Section 2: Writing your application\n## Section 3: What financial information do you need to include\n## Appendices","[{\"question\":\"Why should museums consider a cost/benefit analysis before applying for a grant?\",\"answer\":\"Writing an application can be time consuming, and success rates can be low.
