Ecosystem Grant Application Best Practices
Are you interested in applying for a Porta Ecosystem grant? If so, here are some best practices that will help you create a winning application:
Check that your project meets the criteria
Some applicants do not advance because they do not meet the criteria (link to the website) listed on our website.
More details always help
A more detailed application will improve your chances. We are looking for relevant information about your project and more supporting evidence of a project's viability will help
What about the money?
Explain how your funds will be allocated. Having a clear idea of what you will spend the grant on is an important part of the assessment process.
Ask for help!
Friends or colleagues not directly involved in the project are some of the best people you can reach out to for help. Ask an outside party to look over your application. It never hurts to have a second pair of eyes spot errors. Double check your application for spelling mistakes, or any missing details.
