• Funding bodies offer grants to not for profit
  groups to help with project funding.
• The process of applying for the grants can be
  made easier if you understand what the funding
  bodies expect from you.

3

• Your grant proposal should begin with a Short
  Overview. This is where you use as few sentences
  as possible to present the key elements of your
  grant proposal. Ensure that in the proposal you
  address
• The purpose of your project.
• The expected outcomes of your project. How will
  you achieve the outcomes?
• How will the success of your project be measured?
• Why is your project important to you and the
  community?
• Who are you?

4

• An assessment of need tells the funding body why
  your project is important.
• It should detail how their funding will respond
  to a gap in resources, opportunity or knowledge
  that really to be filled.
• Your grant application needs to clearly define
  the need or problem that your project is
  responding to.

5

• Description of your project or the project goals,
  objectives, and methodology must answer these
  questions
• What are the goals of your project?
• What are your expected outcomes?
• What are the outcomes going to achieve? What
  measurement will you use?
• How do you know your project will productively
  meet the need you have identified?
• What will the timeline be for your project?

6

• Defining the impact of your project is important
  because funding bodies want to see that you have
  undoubtedly established the accurate benefits of
  your project, along with how you plan to measure
  and assess your achievements.

7

• As you are requesting funding, you will need to
  provide a detailed budget to clarify just what
  you are asking for and why.
• Each budget entry should be clearly itemised, as
  you might need to follow up with a justification
  statement which explains why each cost, material,
  and equipment is correct, reasonable, and
  important for your project.

8

• Some funding bodies may require a cover Letter.
  Grant proposals that require a cover letter, will
  be preceded by the cover letter.
• These serve to personally introduce yourself as
  the grant seeking individual or organisation.
  They allow you to establish your character and
  professionalism while briefly describe your
  proposed project.
• You can use the cover letter to convey enthusiasm
  for the project and appreciation for the funding
  bodies' consideration of your request.

9

• Organisational qualifications will be necessary
  as you are representing a not for profit
  organisation or group.
• This will involve devoting a full section to
  describing the mission, nature, and function of
  the organisation.
• This is best placed near the portion of the
  proposal where you have examined the problem.

10

• You may be required to provide a range of
  supporting documents and materials at the end of
  your proposal.
• These may be additional records, personnel bios
  for your organisations employees, community
  endorsements, tax return information, letters of
  support from allied groups or organisations
  partnering with you in your project, and so on.
• This documentation needs to be clearly related to
  your proposal and may be requested by the funding
  body.
