Grant writing is a tough one.
It usually requires someone who is in either a school or DOE. Someone who has a great deal of experience working in the STEM area, understands how to create/evaluate SMART goals, and has a passion for FIRST (Robotics) while integrating it in the respective school/community is the most important part in proving to foundations, why you need funds.

In my experiences, writing grants strictly for robotics wont get the big fish. It usually involves addressing the larger needs of the school/community, while being able to leverage funding support where it benefits Robotics.

Its ongoing, its relentless, and when everyone else is done with the season, you're just beginning to do your evaluation writeups. My deadlines are all due at the end of the fiscal year June 30th annually. And at the same time, youre busy trying to secure new funding support for the following year.

Good luck in getting the right person for you folks. 254 is definitely the right candidate to getting numerous funding support.
