In writing a statement of need, it’s important for grant writers to remember that readers will have already read the grant proposal’s executive summary. The problem statement, then, should be crafted to give the reader more information about the problems identified in the executive summary.

The problem statement, write Nancy Burke Smith and E. Gabriel Works in The Complete Book of Grant Writing (2006), “is where the proposing organization clearly identifies the problem as it exists in its community. In its analysis, the grantmaker will be looking for those programs that hold the most promise for addressing the problem.”

Collect Facts and Evidence to Use in Problem Statement

Before the grant writer sits down to write the statement of need, she should gather all relevant statistics, studies and evaluations, and other information that will help define the problem and support the organization’s proposed solution.
