What you'll get

Grant consultant Micki Vandeloo tells host Kevin Mako that a grant pays for an outcome the funder wants, such as jobs or equipment, that scaling grants ask for customers and market proof first, and how to build a project plan from activities, who does them and cost, plus the reporting that follows an award and why to promise only what you can deliver. She sells grant consulting and a grant-search database and the host's firm sells product development, so check every program yourself.
