Grant Proposal Template

Note: Sections in black should be completed as a group at the end of the


project. Each individual is in charge of a different colored section. Make a
copy of this template and share it with your group members and me.
Delete the directions as you complete each section. You may change the
font, but please keep it plain and easy to read.
Cover Letter
You will write this letter as a group after writing the rest of the proposal.
The Cover Letter should include...

Your organizations name and address.


The title: a name for your proposal that indicates the project or
scope of services you will provide. Some examples might
be "Northridge Community Center Needs 100 Bed
Expansion," "South Sound Wildlife Refuge Needs Cleanup
Volunteers," "HIV Awareness Tour," or Healthy Moms,
Healthy Children. The title should use the same font and size as
the rest of the document, but should be either bolded or all-caps. Do
not use quotation marks around the title.
A personal introduction of one to three sentences.
Your request, summarized in one to three sentences.
Each group members name, made-up job title, and e-mail.

Needs Assessment (Individual Name)


In several paragraphs, explain the issues faced by the cause you support.
Include a recent history, statistics, and other information to explain the
current needs in your sector. This can be broader than the needs you
hope to address; for example, if you are discussing rural education, you
can mention high schools needs even if your project supports a
preschool. However, make sure that you amply document needs that are
relevant to your project. What has the government stated about these
needs and its goals for addressing them? Use in-text citations for any
specific facts or ideas you have researched.

Goals and Objectives (Individual Name)


In bullet point form, list four or more specific goals that your project would
achieve.
In two or more paragraphs, vividly describe the anticipated outcomes of
this project. Consider the projects sustainability: would it be selfsupporting after this funding runs out? Would the project still be needed
after this grant ends? If more funding is needed later, how will you raise
those funds?
In one or two paragraphs, explain your projects significance: why these
objectives are worthy and beneficial to the nation long-term. Support your
arguments with ideas from When Helping Hurts and The Book that Made
Your World to provide a biblical basis for this type of intervention. If
possible, explain how it fits with stated government goals for national
development. Use in-text citations for any specific facts or ideas you have
researched.

Grant Proposal Template

Implementation Plan (Individual Name)


Describe in detail how your group would achieve its goals and objectives.
Address the following questions in a logical order:

Who is your target audience? How will you serve them and/or
interact with them?
What resources, materials, and facilities would be needed? Do they
exist already, or would someone need to develop, make, or build
them? Can you partner with existing organizations to avoid
reinventing the wheel? Use in-text citations for any specific facts
or ideas you have researched.
What is your groups timeline? When and how often would activities
take place in the process of implementing your goals?
What budget is needed for personnel, materials, and facilities? Make
a chart estimating expenses in each area. Will the $100,000 grant
suffice, or will you combine it with funds from other sources?

Grant Proposal Template

Project Background (Individual Name)


How have other organizations tried to address some aspect of these
needs in this nation or around the world? What have you learned from
their successes and failures? Include at least three organizations that are
currently active. Use in-text citations for any specific facts or ideas you
have researched.
What past experience and expertise makes your personnel uniquely
equipped to implement your plan? (Use your imagination for this part.)
Why should this business award the grant to your group over another?

Conclusion
Briefly show how the funding company would benefit from supporting your
cause. Use topics such as Social Responsibility and Philanthropy to explain
how supporting your organization will raise the visibility of the company in
the community and show them in a positive light. Describe how beneficial
the association of the two parties would be to the funding company.
Conclude your proposal with a call to action. You can specifically ask for
the funding, request other support such as volunteering, or ask to
schedule a meeting for further discussion.
This section should be brief (4-8 sentences), yet polite and persuasive.

Works Cited
Include any source you have cited throughout your proposal. You should
cite at least five sources using MLA or APA format. You will format this
page as a group after writing the rest of the proposal.
This page should be double-spaced throughout. Entries should be
alphabetized and indented inch (hit tab once) after the first line. Here
