To increase your chances for funding, you need to touch your proposal one or more of the eight attractors donor. This article shows you how to make your ideas and proposal attractive to lenders about the power of "originality" ... the first on the list.
As you might guess, a truly original idea is to stimulate interest and attract attention. Here are three proven ways to make your ideas> outrageously original:

   1st Be the first - Discover a specific methodology, concept or system in your area that have been shown elsewhere in the country, had sought but never in your area. Early bird get the worm, yes. Because the first program, you will be regarded as a novelty, forward-thinking, progressive. Lenders in your area will be impressed that you be the first time, even if you do not it's you. (This is your secret!) You're smart, building on the successes of others and opening first. You beat your competitors to the punch.
   2nd Be new and fresh - some of the biggest social problems - the disadvantages of poverty, hunger, education have - always existed. Many of the same problems can be regarded as outdated and obsolete when a new approach is presented. For example, I have a friend who is a creative genius in the performing arts to social problems such as death and dying, students are at-risk high school and foster parents. Instead of using traditional methods, it uses dance, singing, comics ... , That give exceptional results. The donors - including the conservative justice - absolutely love him and his programs! Consider how you could bring your project to something completely new and fresh for the existing problems. Use your mind to possibilities of your beginner program unique, innovative, original, imaginative, creative and unusual can explore.
   3rd As a "non-traditional" - I enjoy a refreshing interpretation of the original classic as a new interpretation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Similarly, discrepancies from the traditional practice or precedent to make you original. For example, would be attracted to enter a foundation of progressive and new school it is, proposals, they differ from the old school approach. Sometimes unconventional - even non-conformist - you apart, but this is a risky business. Are you willing to take the risk?
Be smart. Note that originality is a double-edged sword. It is not always a good thing. For example, in your research Funder, find a lender, the ultra-conservative, perhaps a federal agency for public health. They learn that their traditional values and old. In this case, a non-traditional, alternative health approach is not the wisest choice. It might be advantageous to use traditional health strategies ... a non-traditional way.
In this case, you want to ensure that no guests to alienate with an original proposal, is too risky in the eyes of donors.
