Step 6.3

Dealing with a loss

Receiving word of rejection isn't necessarily the end of the process. If you're unsure why your proposal was rejected, ask. Requesting a call or meeting to go over your proposal is always a good idea.

Consider the following questions:

• Did the funder need additional information?
• Would they be interested in considering the proposal at a future date?
• What did your organization do well?
• What could your organization do better?
