It is said that “a picture is worth a thousand words.” When you’re counting every word, every character, like a grant writer is often forced to do, a picture or graphic should be a welcome tool to convey your message. But too many grant applications, when given freedom of presentation, are just a sea of words on a far too full electronic page. Maybe you’re like me. When I pick up a new book, magazine, or report, I do a quick visual scan to see how much work it’s going to be to process.
