Grant Writing Toolkit
When writing a grant application, you may be asked to make a statement on the impact your project is likely to have, whether it be on society, the economy, the environment, culture and so forth.
The length and format of your impact statement will ultimately depend on the funder's guidelines, so ensure you read these carefully.
