The development of the world economy has intensified international cooperation and expanded international financing mechanisms, with grant financing playing an important role. It is implemented by providing targeted financial resources on an irrevocable basis based on the results of a competitive selection of project proposals prepared in accordance with the specified requirements, criteria, and strategic priorities of the grantor. This approach ensures effective allocation of resources and support for initiatives with social, economic, or scientific value. At the same time, the rapid expansion of grant financing across industries and sectors has significantly increased competition among potential grant recipients. Under these conditions, enterprises, institutions, and public organizations must not only meet the basic requirements of competition but also develop project applications that stand out from the rest. This involves a clear justification of the idea, a logical structure, convincing argumentation, and alignment with the donor’s expected results and priorities. An important component of improving the quality of grant applications is the use of modern grant writing tools. These include methods for strategic planning, analysis of the target audience’s needs, construction of logical-structural matrices, development of realistic budgets, determination of performance indicators, and evaluation of results. The integrated use of these tools not only enhances the application’s preparation but also ensures its competitiveness in the selection process. The relevance of the research topic stems from the need to improve the quality of grant applications, a key factor in successfully attracting financial resources for domestic enterprises and organizations. This, in turn, contributes to the implementation of socially significant projects, the development of innovations, the strengthening of economic potential, and the solution of current socio-economic problems. The development of professional grant-writing skills, particularly through modern tools and approaches, is an important prerequisite for effective participation in grant programs. Thus, the competitive struggle for grant funding is becoming an integral part of modern grant writing, in which gaining a competitive advantage determines the success of project activities. This, in turn, contributes not only to attracting additional resources but also to sustainable economic development and effective response to modern challenges.

Keywords: grants; grant writing; fundraising; project writing; grant funding, grant instruments.
