A major key where companies fail is their inability to present the alignment and support of the specific initiative. In many cases, they may not understand how the funding can be applied.

Many companies fail to properly communicate the economic impact and do not adequately communicate how the funds will be applied to generate change for the initiative.

While it may achieve this, it must also demonstrate financially or in writing by using research and examples of how the impact will be made. Moreover, information must be provided to demonstrate that the company has a proper team and resources to maximize the value with the resources provided. By providing a plan that demonstrates these things, it has a stronger case against other companies/organizations competing for the grant award.
