Why Was Your Tech for Good Grant Application Successful?

November 26, 2018 By Joe Roberson

Why Was Your Tech for Good Grant Application Successful?

You know how it is when applying for a grant. Though the odds are stacked against you, somehow you still feel hopeful.

But sometimes you win. Sometimes you get offered a grant. Then you feel happy. And excited. And probably a wee bit nervous too.

So we thought we’d find out if this was true. We asked four of the thirteen funded projects how they felt when they won a grant. Unsurprisingly they were all happy.

And then we asked them why they thought their application succeeded, when 9/10 others failed. They gave interesting answers.

Here’s what they said.
